[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 316686"] I have found re-reading books a really great idea...very helpful. You can come at it from a fresh outlook. husband and I talk about how sometimes with- our child, we need to protect our sanity, but not give up our parenting role. So, perhaps a compromise is in order. perhaps. So, for our special needs child, you might consider more leeway in terms of time on the computer games, but still enforce rules, consequences, etc. Let the rules speak for themselves. After all, if your child can't live by rules, he wont be able to do well in school or at work, etc. What you might need to step up are coping mechanisms for yourself and respite for yourself. Let their antics/bad behavior...go in one ear and out the other. Follow the book's advice. Don't be too strict...but at the same time...enforce appropriate consequences when boundaries are broken. Also,...if you google "logical consequences," there is some good stuff on line. And when you are able, nourish/nurutre yourself to the max. [/QUOTE]
