[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 308139, member: 2960"] I personally think my son thinks and talks about Mario etc a lot because his video games are, to him, a pretty predictable and therefore comfortable world. He's happy there. Good luck and yes, "The Explosive Child" is worth its weight in gold. I am just like my son and still hate any sentences that start with "No", "Stop" or "Don't". Unfortunately, children hear a lot of sentences like that. I get significantly better responses out of my son than other people do because I give him time to transition, hype up the next planned activity whenever possible, and most importantly, phrase things so it's more like a choice than an order. Due consideration of his feelings makes him feel respected and less threatened or something. [/QUOTE]
