[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 606914, member: 11791"] We found we had to really cut back on activity... to get life to the point where difficult child could handle it. THEN you can start setting behavioural expectations. And I agree with the limited choices DF is suggesting. Someone suggested to us that we never say NO when there's a better way to put it. Like: half an hour before lunch, he wants a cookie. If you say NO, you get a war. If you say YES you can have a cookie [I]after we eat our lunch, [/I]you give him less to push back against, because you didn't actually say "no". It doesn't always work, nothing always works, but we still find it useful and my kids are teenagers. [/QUOTE]
