[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 87430, member: 3419"] "but I was nice to them earlier" Oh, boy, does THAT sound familiar. Just from what you wrote, I would venture a guess that he WILL and IS developing a conscience, but he is delayed, so everything is delayed. My son is delayed, too, but you would never know it to look at him. You just have to live with-him for a few days. :} Like MeowBunny, husband is into rewarding difficult child for telling the truth. It aggravated me at first, because it was always some awful thing that he was covering up, and I felt like we were rewarding that, too, but husband made if very, very clear that it was telling the truth that counted, and he would still be punished, but not as severely. When I saw the results with-difficult child, I started doing it too. Also, like you, husband took forever to acknowledge that there was a problem. Must be a make pride thing. Whatever. But now that husband is finally on board, it makes a huge difference. Once you start visiting a therapist and husband is on the same page, you will start to get your sanity back. It's slow going and very hard to be patient. You've gotten some good ideas from MeowBunny. I'm sure other will be along to help. I just sort of muddled through it ... got referrals from teachers and the pediatrician, etc. [/QUOTE]
