[QUOTE="buddy, post: 493678, member: 12886"] That is exactly right. Doesn't matter what others think at all. It is what works for him that is important. Like I said, consequences in the broad sense just happen.... good or bad.... one thing in life influences another thing. But for you, at this point in his life, getting punitive and imposing negative consequences just does not work for him. (though you have said that you raising your tone of voice has stopped things at times...is it like with Q and me???, that later he uses that same tone with you and it only then worked in the short run, but now you have a new problem??) Raising voice (thus giving the consequence of disapproval/anger) is a kind of neg. consequence in some situations. Twice in the last month when I yelled at my PHONE, Q cried! He got so upset.... just could not handle when I said ARRGGG to my phone after a frustrating conversation! It wasn't intended to affect him. It just did. [/QUOTE]
