[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 22819, member: 1514"] The best thing about Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is that HE is the one being consequenced not you. Probably for the first time in his life when he gets in trouble the punishment falls squarely on his shoulders which is where it should be. I know all my kids life we were expected to "make" him do something. If he got in trouble in school people called us and expected us to be able to move mountains. We were punished more than he was. If we grounded him, it was more trouble for us than him. If we took something away, it caused problems for us too having to listen to him rage or repair the damage. In Residential Treatment Center (RTC), if he acts out, they put him in solitary and he can deal. I wasnt called in to make him obey. It was him who lost privileges not me. I could still do what I wanted to do. He learned that his actions effected HIM. This was a lesson we tried to teach for years but it didnt get thru his thick skull. He now understands it and doesnt try to throw things over onto us much anymore...though he will if he thinks he can get away with it. [/QUOTE]
