[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 36810, member: 3419"] Boy, does THAT sound familiar! That's exactly what my difficult child does. We have to up the ante to take away things that really, really matter. The more he mouths off, the more things I say I'm taking away. He will have meltdowns and yell until he runs out of steam and then eventually he realizes we are not going to back down. THEN when he has hit a wall, we can let him earn back TV privileges (as Alisonig suggested). It takes several days or weeks. Now that he's older it sometimes happens in a couple of days. If anyone else here has found anything that works faster, let me know! [/QUOTE]
