[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 370856"] Rewards have worked better than consequences when he was younger... What worked well when is a clear structure...so you can watch tv whe you have your homework done. That kind of thing. As he got older though he would work at getting around any rules or limits we set. And even with logical consequneces it seemed he had to do things several times before it sunk in....so as a little boy he took stuff from a store several times, each time having to go back and confess before he seemed to get it....and he didnt even get that forever as he has some recent arrests for shoplilfting! What i did find helpful was talking to him about a situation I knew might be problematic ahead of time. Laying it out for him and what the consequences would be. I think one of his problems has always been impulsivity and he literally does not think about the consequences ahead of time. [/QUOTE]
