[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 94399, member: 23"] We sometimes forget that "discipline" mean "to teach." It's hard, paricularly if you're not sure what is going on and if appropriate medication doesn't help. With my difficult child, if he was being "willful," the threat of a spanking would get his attention. If it's a repetitive behavior such as lack of impulse control, no amount of physical discipline will correct the problem in my opinion unless the child is so fearful of physical discipline that s/he hyperfocuses. When this happens, they start to fail in other areas and problems such as anxiety, depression, etc., can be triggered. Behavior role modeling, formal management plans, redirecting, and lots of patience is about the best I've ever been able to do. If our difficult child's behavior is disability related, it takes a l-o-n-g time for him to "get it." Age and maturity helps. But I always have to keep in mind the 2/3rds rule with-my ADHDer. What I mean by this is if you have a 6 yrs old that "acts like" a +/-4 yr old, you have to keep that in mind when disciplining. If you can list some specific behaviors, we may be able to give you some ideas. [/QUOTE]
