[QUOTE="Andy, post: 273698, member: 5096"] He is a tad old, but I would still recommend that you borrow from the library a book called The Manipulative Child. I read it when diva was 17 or 18 and wish I had it when she was three. I have used some of the techniques with her and they help. I know how scary it is when your son gets into his controlling mode. You have to stay strong and not show any fear. Send the message that he is being foolish but not harmful. Once he feels that power of controlling you life will get worse as he plays his games. Others have given great advise. Stay calm and stay cool. Don't let him see how you are being affected emotionally. This is all about him, not you. Keep the focus on the issue of his disrespect, don't let it turn to what he wants you to feel like. [/QUOTE]
