[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 28104, member: 3211"] If difficult child has a small issue at school, we might discuss it that night - if he chooses to talk about it, but nothing too serious. However, if he has a major meltdown - if he destroys property, or if I have to go and pick him up from collaborative day - he has no electronics for the rest of that day. No TV, no game systems, etc. This has always been the case - from very early on. It started out as a consequence, but became more about taking further stimulants from the balance of that particular day. difficult child knows it now - will practice his violin, read, etc. We had talked about not having home consequences for school behavior, but difficult child has always seemed to need to be accountable for it, so we've stuck with it. But that's what works in our house and he responds to that. We all do what works for us - I believe that all of us here make our decisions regarding this topic because it is what's best for our difficult children and our very different situations. I wouldn't say that you are going overboard at all. And, if you are the one who is responsible for the discipline the majority of the time, I think you should go with what you're comfortable with. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
