[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 287256, member: 7371"] Terry, The prepaid/pay-as-you-go cell phone is a great idea. After difficult child ran up huge bills on the family plan, we said, "enough." He bought himself a pay-as-you go phone, and now if he wants minutes, it's up to him to figure out how to pay for them. If he has minutes, fine. If he complains that he has used up his minutes, oh well. He can do without until he gets money. This is a good example of consequences, not punishment. Putting the responsibility on him has [U][I]completely[/I][/U] removed one area of conflict from the home. (We have plenty of others, lol, but I'm happy to eliminate even one!) Good luck! [/QUOTE]
