[QUOTE="Andy, post: 191717, member: 5096"] I am sorry! You did the right thing - you have clear cut criteria of when this will happen. If you did not follow through this time, it would have confused that criteria. I have a feeling that he will learn from this one. When he returns, you may want to sit down with him and discuss every step that led up to Stop the World. How was he feeling after school, how did he feel about going shopping, what did he think would have been a more appropriate reaction to the events during the shopping? If he says he did not want to go shopping than talk to him about doing things you do not want to do. He is old enough to behave appropriatly while doing something he doesn't like. I also have to bring difficult child home immediately from school for down time. It is difficult at times since most of my shopping is in the end of town that the school is at and we live in the opposite end of town. There are times though that he just has to hang in there for an extra 1/2 hr while we do an errand. I than tell him that I know he really wants to go home but we do have to do this first. Then I am on edge for innappropriate behavior because my difficult child will purposly misbehave trying to get me to be so distracted with him that it makes me leave. Let us know how respite went.
