[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 634109, member: 30"] I have felt your pain and it's not a good place to be in for sure. When my difficult child was young, I am ashamed to say that we did with hold playtime or other activities. It is not helpful to punish as our difficult child's would spend their lifetime being punished! If you could dangle a carrot of some sort in front of your son to try to get him to do what you want, I believe you would see some positive changes. Your expectations will have to be for the small stuff to begin with and your reward will need to be immediate or at least the same day. It will need to be attainable. The rewards do not have to be big ticket items. It's amazing what younger children are impressed with. Some of our carrots were, choosing a book for me to read to them that evening, them choosing dessert for the evening, getting to help prepare dinner, going for a walk alone with you, a trip to the park, extra time playing video games, get to stay up 15 min. later, things like that. It's a positive children enjoy, it's not costly and the options can be numerous. Hope some of the advise you've gotten give you some idea's to work with and more importantly, helps to get results!
