[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 181657, member: 1233"] I wish I had a way to help. We never experienced this, not with any of my three kids. For some reason wizard was always very conscious of car safety and he would even help with making sure the others stayed in their seats - even in his most irrational and violent times. I would say that if difficult child has a game system or other expensive toy maybe it should/could be pawned to earn part of the $$. Then if he wants to work he can do things to pay off the pawn ticket and get it back. If he doesn't, then he clearly doesn't need the items. It is a method mentioned in Love and Logic parenting. Not sure if it would be feasable in your home or not. I am so sorry. Maybe the next times you go shopping if you would normally buy a book, toy or candy tell him he can't have it and the amount goes toward teh $80 he owes for the ticket? I have done this with my kids. thank you really seems to "get it" when I do this after he pulls a stunt and breaks things or messes them up. BIG HUGS to mommy. It must have been nerve wracking and embarrassing to be pulled over like that. [/QUOTE]
