[QUOTE="Star*, post: 245502, member: 4964"] Janna, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or not? He's continuing to get attention for his outbursts/rants. If they persist for hours? New rule! - You may rant in front of everyone with the timer for 5 minutes. PERIOD! After that? You may retire to YOUR bedroom and rant about it there - all you want for as long as you want. Make it clear that the rants are not appreciated NOR will they be given attention. Also - How about if snacks (since they seem to be a bone of contention with your son) are divided up AS THEY ARE PURCHASED. I think it would be a little hard to do at first, but I would buy baggies and a marker - I would put a certain amount of snacks in baggie labled MONDAY - or three baggies for Monday - maybe 13 cheetos in one, 10 cheetos in another, 4 sugar free cookies in another. Now the choice of WHEN to eat them - is up to your child - but suggest that one could be for mid morning at school, one after school and one after supper. IF HE CHOOSES TO EAT ALL OF THAT DAYS SNACKS AT A SITTING? Then he gets NO snacks for the rest of the day - Tuesday? Bring out the three bags labled TUESDAY SNACKS FOR SON....three baggies, all saying Tuesday - and when you put them on the counter - you say HERE are TUESDAYS snacks for you. So that you both know the snacks are there and there's no "I don't know what happened to them." later. As far as SO buying and eating all the cheetos? Ahhhh yes. You know it IS his peroggative to eat them all when he wants because he buys them but I don't know any kids that get it. You and I get it. If I buy myself a candy bar and Dude eats it? OMG I'm very upset. If DF buys some chips or something just for him - then he would always say "I bought these and they are MY special treat." You could even find baggies with designs on them - and say XX's SPECIAL TREAT MONDAY ...... But as far as the broken record rant routine? I'd give it the audience it deserves.....himself, in his room, door shut.....and no coming out until he's let go of it. Hope this helps...... Hope this helps...... Hope this helps....
