[QUOTE="ShakinThingzUp, post: 90383, member: 4250"] Hi The only suggestion I can think of is rather than deal with everything as he does it to see if there's anything you can do to prevent it from happening. Help him lay out his clothes the night before, have a hand in fixing his lunch the night before, etc. If these are done the night before it may cut down on some of the time he is wasting. As for responses..... in the "heat of the moment" I am quick to respond back as I shouldn't (the temper in me) but usually I can look back and think of a better way to respond... perhaps, when he says "That's just the way that I am," you could say "Well, what do you think we can do to change 'the way that you are'?" Give him a chance to help with the solution? Sometimes making them feel like they have a bit of control over the situation (when they really don't) helps them feel better about behaving. God Bless!
