[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 58432, member: 84"] Some of what you're describing is typical teen stuff. But the phone converstations is probably excessive. I never had much luck with redirection with Travis. The best I could manage was just simply limiting the activity because he couldn't seem to do it for himself. His is sci fi, Star Trek, Star Wars ect. If he wanted to watch reruns of Star Trek he had to accomplish such and such throughout the day. If he didn't then no Star Trek (or other sci fi activity). That was the only way to motivate him to do something else like chores, or to simply go outside. I learned to work around, and to use Travis' obsessions to my advantage. It was my only option. And it usually worked pretty well. Heck, I still use them. lol Welcome to the board. [img]:salute:[/img] [/QUOTE]
