[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 481251"] You might need a rule that he NEVER gets the remote. Somehow you need to break that habit. He can request you change the channel but you or husband have the remote. Remind him that's it's not his, it is yours. My kids are in the process of learning the difference between rights and privileges. They have to earn tv time, computer time, and play time by taking care of responsibilities and there are chores they can choose from to earn extra time. They hated it at first but it has become habit for them already. Another thought is that role-playing doesn't work for some kids. It didn't for mine. I needed to teach "in the moment" for any of it to stick. One of the calming techniques difficult child 1 came up with that actually works is taking a warm shower while the tub fills and then he lays in it until he's calm. He loves it and it really does work. Now, when I see he's upset I simply tell him to "hit the shower". difficult child 1 also gets hot VERY easily. difficult child 2 and I can be COLD and he is running around in a pair of shorts and no shirt. Our rule is no showing undergarments or nudity. It is still appropriate but he can be comfortable. Would a compromise like that work for him? Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
