[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 65351, member: 2063"] Ok since I don't know all of the details I am just putting in my .02 worth. Does he get a place to call his own without the risk of punishment to say what he wants. I have struggled with this but if they know that when they enter their room (even though it is in my house) once the door closes if they say something that it is free from punishment. It helps them to know they have a place to vent. Another thing is do you plan to set up an appeal type process. I know that sounds strange but if they know they really want something and you say no he may feel you didn't consider everything that he was thinking (or in my difficult children cases sometimes not thinking). I know we have to set up firm guidelines for our difficult children but you also have to give them one or two places they do have their own control. Again I don't know your whole situation but this is something that I have discovered. Beth [/QUOTE]
