[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 129741, member: 1835"] Mikey, you made perfect sense, and I totally understand where you're coming from. In fact, as I mentioned, we did the same thing for the same reasons. I guess we finally got to the point where we realized that all we were doing was making a lot of noise in explanations, admonitions, and recriminations, which was only giving our son a great game of ping-pong. What he really needed, and what finally helped him, was when we stopped, and, in the ensuing silence when he found that ball resting firmly in his own hands, he was finally forced to look not at us but inside himself for the questions and answers. Even so, he's still very much a work in progress... [/QUOTE]
