[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 639771, member: 3419"] Welcome. You must do the full Riley before you do foster care. In foster care, they will most likely let him get away with a lot of stuff, and allow him video games and junk food. I don't think it will teach him what he needs to survive and be successful. You have to pretend that you're a "Happy Warrior." (I think that's a Riley-ism.) Maintain a strict schedule, keep an eye on him at all times, intervene immediately when he does something wrong. Also compliment him immediately when he does something good. "I like it when you hold open the door for me." "I like the tone of voice you're using right now. It makes me happy." "I like it when you put your socks in the laundry. Good job." The tiniest thing will go a long way. These kids can dish out H*ll but the tiniest thing will hurt them to the core and they will overreact. It doesn't make sense but it is what it is. [/QUOTE]
