[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 464726"] I try giving him "good" choice and "bad" choice options not as a "consequence" so to speak but a way to teach him to make good choices by making the bad choices excessively uncomfortable. He usually will pick the good choice, tonight was not one of them. He does know that I will stick by what I say so there won't be any arguing now that he's had time to think it over. That part is still good. He WILL try to negotiate the consequences by "earning back" some of his play time by going over and above what is usually required of him. As for the knife thing, they do get locked up and he would only be allowed to use it for Boy Scout activities with the leaders present. [/QUOTE]
