[QUOTE="Andy, post: 152598, member: 5096"] Christy, You did great! I would think that 2nd police visit did the trick. I agree with others, don't ground for more than a day or two and, whatever you do, don't let him out of the vehicle. Parking was a good idea though. I can so feel your frustration. My tactic - that would not work in this situation but may help others another time - When the kids were misbehaving in the car, I would park the vehicle down the road from home and we would walk home. When my difficult child was about 5 years old, he was so upset about leaving the vehicle abandoned. A neighbor saw me do this once and said, "He probably likes the walk home" "Not with me walking beside him chewing him out the entire time." This happened about 4 -5 times before the kids knew I was serious - you HAVE to behave in a vehicle. On the way home from vacation one time, the kids were physically fighting in the vehicle (a new one for them) so I did pull over and threw their luggage out. "O.K., You put your stuff back in the vehicle and sit here. You put your stuff back in the vehicle and sit in the way back." They were so sure that I was going to leave them in the parking lot.
