[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 40134, member: 805"] Toughie - I think it is the combo of natural and inventive consequences based on your particular difficult child's needs/ability to connect the dots. My difficult child gets his classwork sent home if it is not completed during the school day. Most kids would loose recess. difficult child does not loose recess. But, spending an extra 20-30 minutes on his homework is definately a consequence!!!!!!!! When difficult child was younger, I used to explain the consequence thing in terms he would understand. If he was upset and resistant to a natural consequence, I would tell him it was like riding a bike. If he pedals faster, the bike goes faster - if he turns the handlebars, the bike will turn. Who is in control? You are. Life is like riding a bike - you are in control of where it goes and what happens. Parents of difficult children must have a generous creativity streak!!!! Sharon [/QUOTE]
