[QUOTE="--Eleanor--, post: 33292, member: 3620"] Some of this "questioning authority" stuff is probably just part of being 6, I suppose. And negotiation around stuff that doesn't involve behavioral problems doesn't seem like a bad idea. (Of course, I do that for a living, so I guess I WOULD say that...) Part of the tension of what we're dealing with is that, to some extent, we are getting differing advice from various professionals. Because my son's language (particularly reciprocal conversation skills) has been so delayed, the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is THRILLED with reciprocal dialogue including the irritating type of negotiation described above. The psychologist (very behavioral approach) goes to the opposite extreme--no dialogue at all with child about the problem behavior, just time out, get back on task, etc. I think I will go back and loot at "The Explosive Child" again. In some ways, my son fits this description and in some ways not. The book describes kids that are often angry, surly, withdrawn, and with explosive tempers. My son is actually very cheerful most of the time, even when he is misbehaving. In fact, that is one of the things that makes his misbehavior so irritating... [/QUOTE]
