[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 454349, member: 1514"] I think Andy has some good points. I think it was Smallworld who had some issues with her kids when they were younger and she actually did something that in hindsight I think was brilliant. She kept a small jar of dimes in the kitchen I believe and when her older kids reacted positively she paid them a dime. Now a dime is pretty much small change but to a kid it is a shiny reminder that they have done something right. Maybe if you sat both kids down and did some play acting with them to show them what was good play and bad play and how it effects each of them it would help. Then tell them that when you catch them playing nicely they will get a dime. Now you can also pay the older one extra dimes throughout the period of time when you see that he is doing his very best to put up with extra stress and works on his coping skills. [/QUOTE]
