[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 230421, member: 6546"] I do not have as much experience and wisdom as some of the other parents here--but I can tell you that in parenting a difficult child, it is very common for there to be no reward in the world that is big enough...nor any punishment in the world great enough to convince them to change their behavior. The typical reward/punishment discipline styles definitely do not work with these kids. I have been trying something different with my own difficult child lately, I have been working with a counselor to try and help my daughter understand the connections between her choices and the outcomes. These kids seem to want to be in control so badly--they will do anything to stay in charge...and what we have been trying to show my daughter is that the way to get what she really wants is by being co-operative instead of bossy. (The get more flies with honey lesson...although as my Dad always liked to point out--you get the MOST flies with a big pile of bull****. :winking:) I'm sure others will jump in with good suggestions here as well... Best-- Daisy [/QUOTE]
