[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 155037, member: 3419"] Sounds good to me. We've worked on bossiness, too. And defiance. We're still working on that one! We sometimes have to imitate his voice and body language to show him what we mean by that, because if you just say "defiance," "Bullying" or whatever, he won't get it. Too abstract. And, he'll just deny it. So when we repeat the sentences in a particular situation, he'll say, "OOOhhhh, that. I just meant ..." and then we can correct him and do role playing. Delayed gratification, whether in buying something or getting a question answered, is a big one. Our therapist always suggests a shortened time with-a warning, and then lengthening the time bit by bit. We use the timer on the microwave a lot. Any mechanical equipment you can use that will take your "Mom voice" out of the equation will help objectify things and diffuse explosions. Because face it, we're our kids' favorite targets! :) Best of luck. I hope you get some good, practical ideas in therapy. [/QUOTE]
