[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 388195, member: 84"] Wow sweetie you've got one heck of a full plate. Natural consequences are like this : You don't eat supper, you go to bed hungry. Don't do homework, you deal with the punishment the teacher gives you. You fail out of school, you repeat the grade. I did see where you're using it to some degree already. difficult child telling you he doesn't care about what you take away is, trust me on this you'll see my kids are all grown, an act pure and simple. Total power play. Keep whatever it is from him long enough......he'll respond. Mine tried that on me, most of the time they never saw it again. Two to three times they stopped saying it. lol When they had a fit because I got rid of the item.........I simply reminded them that they didnt care about it to begin with so I found someone who did. lol If he doesn't say respond to being grounded from tv for a week, make it 2 wks and so on. Sometimes you have to get creative a bit. Typical punishments that work for normal kids usually have to be tweaked for difficult children. I had Cinderella and Cinderfella duty in which the child suddenly found themselves with extra chores......usually quite disgusting......for a certain period of time. During a particularly bad time with my son, his toys stayed locked in his closet for about 3 months. You're right, it is exhausting, mentally, physically, and emotionally. I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I'll keep him and your family in my prayers. Hugs [/QUOTE]
