[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 371677, member: 1550"] I didn't read the other responses so I'm just coming out with a new perspective of my own. Typical kids tend to respond to the sort of consequences AND natural consequences that psychologists talk about and instruct us to do. Atypical teens can be very resistant to anything. The best weapon I had when my daughter started taking drugs (and I hope you don't ever have to go there) was the car, but eventually we had to take her license away from her anyway and we didn't have much ammo because she did what she wanted to do no matter w hat we told her to do. And we tried everything. I know this isn't helpful, but I want you to know that difficult kids are DIFFICULT and the very defiant ones just will not listen and it's not your fault. You keep trying, that's all you can do. Now I have a son on the autism spectrum whom I call a difficult child, but his behavior is actually pretty good. He WANTS to do well and not get into trouble, so he responds to any sort of discipline almost too much (I hear him saying in his room "I'm such an idiot" "I did such a bad thing") and this is only over little stuff because he never does really bad things. difficult children are all different. The extremely defiant ones are extremely hard to reign in and all we can do is try. (((Hugs))) Wish I had more stuff that had worked for me to pass along. [/QUOTE]
