[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 520181, member: 2211"] I agree with TeDo/IC regarding background. Also, it does sound like he has something going on in regards to impulsivity and oppositional behavior. However, both of those could be due to, in part, privileges...as in he has too many. Thirteen year olds are impulsive and do have a difficult time self monitoring. But he knows the rules/guidelines you've set for him and he blatently disregards them. He searches the house while you sleep to find those privileged items. To me, that sounds very oppositional. What are the consequences for him if he breaks the rules? Do you ever take the item away and if so, for how long? What if you took the items away and kept them at your work or a neighbor's house? If he knew there was NO WAY he'd be able to retrieve those items, what would he do? Would he meltdown? Would he give up? How many other children are in the house and what are their ages? Sorry for all the questions, but more info would be helpful. [/QUOTE]
