[QUOTE="Steely, post: 46104, member: 3301"] Yeah, soap in the mouth or consequences have never worked for us either. Lately, the only thing that works - especially when he uses the N word, is for me to leave the room or house. I make a big deal of "not wanting to be around that disgusting talk, and if he wants to talk that way he can do it alone". It leaves him literally and figuratively speechless. When I come back in, I ask him if he is ready to talk like he is a member of our family, and if he says no, then I just leave again. It actually works very well.........because who wants to talk that way to themselves? They talk this way for the reaction they get. This probably works more effectively for me because it is just the 2 of us - but the concept could be modified for each family member until your difficult child realizes that there is really no one listening to his crap.
