[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 601977, member: 1514"] Mine was extremely hard to punish too. Youngest I mean. The other two were okay. I cant say precisely what would have worked but I know what didnt..lol. I did have the most luck when using The Defiant Child method out of Doug Riley's book. I dont know if you have one of the problems I did when mine was smaller and into his teens but I worked full time and he took those hours while I was at work as a freebie to do whatever he wanted. I couldnt ground him because he simply left the house while I was at work. I couldnt tell him no TV or video games or fishing or whatever else was actually available to him even when no one was home. I couldnt take the TV with me in my car to work...lol. Plus, not fair to his siblings to ground them too from whatever he was being punished. I started using some of the techniques from Defiant Child and I would make him do physical stuff when I was there. It was the only time I could actually control. Some of the things I did were probably borderline abusive but his behaviors were really out there. In order to keep him from running off when I was trying to make him do his physical punishments, we did things like leash him to a long wire dog run and made him walk or run from one side to the other for so many minutes. Now do remember he was at least 13/14 when this was going on and we were trying to keep him from leaving home to break into people's houses. We had people tell us they would shoot him the next time they caught him around their houses so we were desperate. *He was hard though, even group homes set up for kids like him gave up. [/QUOTE]
