[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 63515, member: 3837"] Thanks for the input ya'll. I think I did everything wrong in my first response to him, I did it blindly. I had no idea that the saying or that jumping jacks would cause a meltdown at all. Typically when I talk to any of my kids I'm very straight forward, I don't use "kid" sayings. I just thought he'd understand it more if I said it the way school does. He and I have had issues communicating so I was trying something new. I think for now I'm going to continue my literal language with him and avoid the "kid" language. in my opinion I think those kinds of sayings are pre-schoolish, but the newest principal at their old school talks to the 5th graders this way. With all the problems we've had lately I am always willing to try something new if I think it will help. [/QUOTE]
