[QUOTE="Fran, post: 296166, member: 3"] A lot of our kids are a huge ball of chaos producing energy. difficult child learned a little of the more real world when he was exposed to teens who weren't quite so insulated as my little darling(sarcasm). He learned to not tell the truth, take money from the common jar, things that he liked in the house. I told him without blinking that taking things from his family is theft. I will call the police. He has no right to anything in this house unless he asks for permission or is offered to him by the owner. Me. For whatever reason that stuck. He does ask before he goes through the change jar. I'm sure you already did the same things. We just don't know what clicks with them or what doesn't. I did offer to steal things from him so he could understand how that feels. More and more I believe in supported independent living for young adults. It is probably more instructional than all the life skill lessons we try to teach. Vent away. It's all you can do some days.
