[QUOTE="shaile, post: 99309, member: 4123"] Greetings and welcome Sally. While this is the first post for me..I've been a happy lurker for quite awhile, and gained alot of calm just reading. Lots of Hugs to you, and hang tuff. Your headline hit exactly where we are with our 8yr old difficult child. This weekend he set fire to paper, and a cloth headband in his room. He didn't even attempt to hide or conceal. The stealing has been a long ongoing trouble for a few years. Almost seems somewhat of a obsession on something then a compulsion to act..as he goes after certain things over and over again until I guess he gets bored of it. Most recent were cell phones, and jewelry. Can't say as it will make a difference but we chose to go the opposite route, and straight up told him next time he starts a fire or steals..We are calling the police. No ifs, ands, or butts. He does not respond to any positive reinforcement systems, and punishments of normalcy do nothing. He is somewhat responsive to "fear". Wishing you the best through these times. [/QUOTE]
