[QUOTE="busywend, post: 61146, member: 391"] I don't know about everyone else's difficult children, but mine does not change behavior based on punishments. She just never 'gets it' that the reason she is being punished is to stop doing the thing that got her the punishment. Never sinks in. Having said that - I do still punish for some things. Even though I know it is not going to change the behavior, I do still have things that I just just can not be around in my house. So, would I turn off the TV - you bet. And tell my difficult child that I do not want or need to hear that kind of talk and to go in another room for awhile. Do I think this will correct the behavior? No. But, it is important to me to not live with that kind of talk. I am sure difficult child still would talk that way in front of others, at school, maybe even at church - my difficult child just does not get it. [/QUOTE]
