[QUOTE="Coookie, post: 118321, member: 1587"] Hi klmno, Boy did your thread pull at my heartstrings and here is why. [img]:frown:[/img] When my difficult child would have something coming up I would use it as a tool to try and get some positive behavior and attitudes out of him. I didn't do that because I am a mean person, it just seemed like the only available tool I had. Something concrete to use. It also developed into piling consequences on top of consequences. [img]:smile:[/img] Eventually my difficult child didn't give a rat's patootie... because he knew that he couldn't/wouldn't live up to the expectations I had set for him and eventually didn't even allow himself to look forward to things because he "just knew they would be taken away"...these are fences I am trying to mend now. Your difficult child is being punished by the school for his behavior with the suspension, and I agree there should be some at home consequences also but I want you to think about this (and I'm sure not everyone will agree with me). Birthday's come once a year and they are never seen again... perhaps there is another way? Perhaps more chores? If you have pets perhaps double duty poop patrol? [img]:smile:[/img] If I had it to do over again I would do it differently. In a perfect world. [img]:frown:[/img] Of the things I regret most with my difficult child this is a huge one. In trying to do the right thing, find the right path, so many birthdays (and other things) were lost. [img]:frown:[/img] In answer to your thread topic question... Do difficult children have logic? [img]:rofl:[/img] Sorry, just a little joke. [img]:bag:[/img] Just wanted to share this with you is all. Others will be along with more/better ideas. Hugs [/QUOTE]
