[QUOTE="1905, post: 695958, member: 2668"] He's calling you, he wants you to listen. By you just listening-his needs are being met. You can just listen and not say a word. He has your attention. He also has your attention when he's acting out. It's still attention. You listen to the ranting and bad behavior. You engage him and it's all still attention. Even saying, "Don't call me stupid" is engaging, he likes that back and forth. You don't want him behaving like that, so something has to motivate him to change that specific behavior. By you just flat out refusing to tolerate one word of his nonsense will be a good motivator. He doesn't get the attention he wants. So you have 2 choices, hang up immediately when he acts out, or listen quietly when he just needs to vent. Give him verbal positive reinforcement only. He will learn the best way to get the coveted attention from you, teach him. [/QUOTE]
