[QUOTE="Andy, post: 236853, member: 5096"] I think I would recommend "The Manipulative Child" to you also if you are feeling some of his behaviors are manipulation. As with everything else, it will not be the cure all but may help in a small way in this situation? Maybe to earn extra privileges he can do some writing? Have him write positive things such as, "Some day I would like to take a vacation to......" and describe why he chose that location, or serious things such as,"Good friends should........" or "When I grow up, I would like to get a job as........." or hard things such as,"When I threw the chair, the other kids........" You can learn a lot about your kids by what they write. You can set a word limit. Give him a note book just for these assignments. You can also ask his teacher for extra work in various subjects. He might as well be learning or practicing math or writing while earning privileges. You are a great mommy. Never put yourself down. Just being here shows you do love your son and want to find an easier way for him. That is what the World's Best Mommies do. You are one of those World's Best Mommy! It just takes our difficult child's a little longer to see that. When their behaviors try to make you guilty, just stand strong and don't listen. [/QUOTE]
