[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 178817, member: 45"] Brushing teeth is the hardest. If I'm prepared for a meltdown, I tell him he can't play his video games until he brushes his teeth. Usually, it will end in a temper tantrum, then he will sit and stew (sometimes for over an hour), then he will finally brush his teeth. Who knows if he uses toothpaste. If the earning time thing works for you, I'd continue it. If he doesn't hand you the PSP, take time away at double the rate. (I usually give my difficult child 5 minutes to get to a spot to save or quit.) Even so, with my difficult child, that may cause things to escalate. I think taking away the charger was a good move and if he still continued to play, the charger wouldn't be returned for a week. [/QUOTE]
