[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 513747"] You're right, poor boy. I completely understand what he's saying and I think you're right that he's RAELLY feeling bad about himself. Do you think it would help him if you told him that hell is for people that TRY to be bad and that you only go to hell if you do bad things ON PURPOSE? Just a thought.....it's worked with difficult child 1. Our boys try so hard to be good and when they aren't, it messes with their self-esteem in such a big way. Then to work on getting/giving more attention when being "good". If he associates being bad with attention, it's time for us to switch gears and lather on the attention when they're being good. I know I need to do more of that. I tend to leave difficult child 1 alone when he's being good and doing his own thing. That is my fault. Sad to say but I see their logic. Scary huh? [/QUOTE]
