[QUOTE="keista, post: 434646, member: 11965"] So my question is: Did these activities cut into his DVD time, or does he have a set amount of time for DVDs and then you always do some activities? If he normally gets DVDs all day Sunday, then that's the change, the disruption in his routine. Doesn't matter that these were fun activities that he would normally like to do. You cut off his "addiction" and as anyone who's been addicted to anything - caffeine, nicotine, food, alcohol, drugs - can tell you, that is a HUGE disruption. If, on the other hand, you have a set routine of DVD time and then activities, and you followed the same routine today, then I'd be more inclined to say that it was a combination of the two. Being more tired than usual and diverting him from his 'addiction', even though you followed the "routine", set off the bad behavior for the day. Being more tired, makes kids/ppl [B]need[/B] more of their comfort zone/addictions. This is what I mean by looking for ANY changes. [/QUOTE]
