[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 550245, member: 1514"] Well you did better than me. I kept the number to the French Foreign Legion by the phone and threatened to call them every time he got out of hand. He wasnt quite sure who they were but I told him they froze to death in Russia...lol. I swear at that age I wanted to half kill him half the time. Probably more often. There is a book that I like even more than the explosive child which is the defiant child. I liked the ideas in that book because compromising with my son was just letting him win. With my kid giving him baskets just simply didnt work. Maybe meant yes. It still does. He needs complete concrete rules. If it is wrong today, it has to be wrong everyday. We'll see just doesnt cut it with him. I learned way too late that letting him get away with certain things just let him believe that certain behaviors were acceptable. If your daughter tends to have temper tantrums and throw things out of her room, strip her room so there isnt anything to throw. Thats perfectly allowed. Put her stuff in your room and give her one outfit a day. Let her have a mattress on the floor, a blanket and a pillow. She doesnt need more than that. If she goes in other people's rooms, put locks on them. You have to get creative. I couldnt restrict my son from TV because I worked full time and he got home from school before me so he would just watch then. Also I lived in a single wide mobile home and all he had to do to watch tv was sit in his doorway and he could see the tv. I wasnt going to punish the rest of the family and take away tv from them too. So I did different things.
