[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 30019, member: 3579"] Allen-Matlem, re: [i]"Consequences often make kids resist even more - you are not going to control me."[/i] Yep, couldn't agree more. For us and our difficult child 1, it's boiled down to a contest of wills; the more we punish with consequences, the more he rebels. For him, his psychiatrist says that rebellion is reflexive, almost like Tourets, and he can't control it. Well, he could [i]learn[/i] to control it, but he'd have to care enough first [img]:hammer:[/img] After a year, we're just now learning what consequences we can use that don't provoke his rebellion reflex. Quick answer is not many, and not very often. But we have hope. Mikey [/QUOTE]
