[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 93316, member: 3930"] Thanks for all the input. I like the idea of combining 123 Magic with The Explosive Child strategy. The video says to count things that are 'minor' stop behaviors. The major stop behaviors (like get out of the road!) would be handled differently. I can also see my difficult child waiting to stop doing whatever until I am just about to 3. I can also see him counting me. I also agree that when he is raging, he doesn't care about anything - so counting and giving him time out is not going to work then. It is so hard. We need to do something besides yelling all the time and being angry. We also need to do something besides doing nothing - which is kind of where I am at right now because I don't know what to do. I have read so many books. Sometimes I think just rewarding positive behavior and ignoring negative behavior is the way to go - but negative behaviors in real life have consequences. [/QUOTE]
