[QUOTE="Fran, post: 146175, member: 3"] I know what you mean. With your son's diagnosis being similar to mine, I'm a fan of blunt truth. If you lie to me, of course I don't trust you. Trust is earned. I also offer the reverse about if you didn't pick him up when you said you would,he couldn't trust you. If you are going to continue with dental treatment, I would have a specific public place for retainer and grinding guard that he must deposit when not wearing. The world stops until it is placed in there. Of course, if it is lost while he is outside of the house I doubt it's worth replacing. We do basic dental care but because difficult child was not compliant with dental care we opted to not do braces. If he wants better looking teeth when he is older he can take care of it himself. It went into a Basket C. Hygiene is a Basket B, only because I'm tired of beating that horse. He is better but falls off from time to time. In my difficult child's case, he didn't start hiding the truth until he realized he would get in trouble with the truth. He was older like late teens. He just didn't have the strong self preservation drive that most teens have. Lots of conversations with difficult child about if he wants trusts, he must be trustworthy. They just don't make that connection very well. [/QUOTE]
