[QUOTE="texasboys, post: 19342, member: 1424"] Thanks for all the advice and comments. I realize that I have not rewarded my difficult child enough for his good things. I've said in previous posts that I am a strict parent with high expectations of both difficult child and easy child. I've slowly come to realize that fact, and have been less harsh, but I haven't altered the "atta boys". Don't get me wrong, I praise both my boys quite frequently and there's a lot of hugs and kisses and I love yous. However, I need to also realize that what is normal behaviour for pcs can be great behaviour for a difficult child, and I need to reward that more frequently. That way, I can have those natural consequences. I have realized that the reason I have a hard time coming up with consequences is because I don't give enough rewards. The more I think I learn, the more I see my own shortcomings. I just hope that I can do enough good for my difficult child, that he ends up being a happy, healthy, well-adjusted adult that has fond memories of childhood, and having to go to counseling because of his cruel mother!
