[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 151352, member: 3419"] Well, judging from that, I don't think that's what my son has. He's got true empathy, he's still just so immature and so young-selfish (like an 8-yr-old rather than 11-yr-old) that it's going to take a few yrs b4 he can put others first consistently. Right now, he does it if A) he's not begging for attention at the same time someone else is; B) if it doesn't take anything away from him, emotionally or physically, C) he's not too ADHD. Karen, my son sneaks into our room a lot and takes my husband's DVD player. It drives me nuts. I can't totally blame my difficult child because husband is so inconsistent on giving it to him. "Oh, I told him he could watch a wrestling video." Say what? No one ever told me, and he's grounded off of videos! So I have to train husband as well as difficult child. All kids steal, or at least think about it. difficult child's do it consistently and seemingly with-o remorse. One way we've gotten difficult child to slow down on his stealing is to actually give him what he wants. He loves Nemo Gummies and sneaks entire boxes into his room. He is not allowed to have food in his room. So if he's caught with-them, he doesn't get any for several days. Then when he does something great, we give him Nemos as a reward. He's shocked but it works for a few days ... [/QUOTE]
