[QUOTE="nvts, post: 63009, member: 3814"] Hi! Old habits die hard! Sorry to hear that he ended up melting down...in his eyes he was most likely seeing the taking the bike for repairs as a punishment for something (Only God knows what!!!) - he's been behaving perfectly by going to the club, behaving himself while he's there and coming home and being pleasant. I don't know if changing the routine on this one would be a "transition" per se or if he sees it as a lost priveledge. Therefore, he "tried" to present his alternative solution of riding his skateboard everywhere. This way (remember: in his mind!) he had transportation that was sufficient AND he still got to keep his "prize" of going to the swim club. [img]:crazy:[/img] I don't know about you, but I'm always worried that the other shoe is going to drop with my guys! Good luck and don't despair - talk to him when you're both rational - try to understand that he's been in "trouble" for so many years and losing priveledges because of it. Maybe you can reassure him that this was just an errand to be done - not some sort of punishment. Hoping for the best for you! Beth [/QUOTE]
