[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 645186, member: 18238"] Didn't mean fix as in go away. I meant fix what's causing him to behave like this in the first place. I understand that even though its a misdemeanor that there are potentially serious long term consequences as do you. The problem is that our son doesn't. On a good day he only see's how something affects the next few hours at the most. The problem is that he learns by experiencing and while you and I both know that this particular experience isn't a good one, it may just be a necessary one to keep him from getting any deeper. What's the first thing you do when you realize that you're in a hole? Put down the shovel. He needs to learn to do this instead of calling mom and asking her to bring some rope. [/QUOTE]
