[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 166315, member: 1991"] I'd have used silent alarms so it would take him a lot longer to realise they are there but still definitely get the message that whatever he does, you KNOW. Because when he knows the doors and windows are alarmed his mind won't be thinking, "Oh dear, I have been very naughty, for my parents to have put alarms on the doors and windows." No, he will be thinking, "This is an interesting puzzle; how can I beat my parents at this new game?" If his focus can be kept on the idea that leaving the house is a bad thing to do, then maybe he will get the message sooner. Let him think you are constantly awake and watching him, rather than knowing that the alarms are tipping you off. It's good that the girl's mother is also on side about this. Marg [/QUOTE]
