[QUOTE="whateveryousay2007, post: 136986, member: 4265"] I think the thing that I've realized is that everything with difficult child kiddos is day by day. Mine understands time but in our house we discipline by the day. If difficult child is acting out and it's not bad (maybe he's overstimulated, etc) we mention that it's not acceptable and to stop doing.....(whatever it is). BUT, if it's something that he can control we take away for that day only. His obsession is "Cars" toys. So, if he chooses to make a bad choice, that priviledge is taken away temporarily. Long term punishment is futile. "The explosive child" helped a lot with what battles to tackle. (oh...and I've feared that the neighbors have heard us arguing before too.) But, I've learned that actions speak louder than words. [/QUOTE]
