[QUOTE="Frazzledmom, post: 407160"] Thanks for answering. He ended up walking eight miles than calling us. It was a small victory because he actually admitted he was wrong. As far as not allowing him to go...been there done that and there really is no stopping him. We learned a long time ago that natural consequences were the only thing that have ever worked. I do understand the give to get mentality and we are going to try hard to let him earn privileges. We're currently working on a "financial plan" with our therapist that defines where his money will come from and what he will be responsible for in order to pay for things like future trips. I know I have to let the skipping school thing go but boy, does it push my buttons!!!! on the other hand, from the beginning he's hated a change in schedule at school whether it is a field trip, an assembly or (as in this week) winter carnival. Most kids just love those breaks, he thinks they are stupid and a perfect reason to skip! I'm also very ready to try the, "be nice to me or I'm not going to do anything for you" idea. Now if I can just find the energy to think on my feet. That's the hard part isn't it?? Remembering, in the heat of the moment, the tools that you worked so hard to learn! [/QUOTE]
