[QUOTE="heavenhelpme, post: 69484, member: 3987"] I have noticed that PCs respond well to the consequences of their behaviors and that they seem to learn quickly from the repercussions of their actions. difficult child is my stepson. I have been with husband since difficult child was 2 1/2 months old..(we also dated prior to that when we were in Highschool). I have been a constant in his life since then and we always had a really close relationship (until recently...his behavior has really taken a toll on our relationship..this is one of the things I regret about this battle...I really miss my son). He never really bonded with bio mom...she used toys and free reign to make him happy, she never really tried to be a parent to him. I had him constantly (usually no less than 4 days a week) before we got custody. In 2000 when difficult child was 3 we got custody and then the bio mom moved out of state and only saw him twice a year until she approached us about terminating her rights..bio has not had visitation with him since he was 6. As for when he throws things...we have followed the psychiatric's advice...if the object is thrown in anger as he's going to time out after his time out he must clean up any messes he made on his way to time out. Sometimes he'll throw things just because he's mad about what ever...so what ever object he throws we simply take away and we tell him when he can be more responsible and take better care of his things he can have them back.
