[QUOTE="keista, post: 466361, member: 11965"] Movie, lunch, park, flea market shopping, bowling, skating of any kind, ice cream, fishing, nature walk, museum, etc. Seriously, anything at all can be used as a "treat" and quality time with mom or dad. Even something as mundane as grocery shopping or running errands can be turned into a "treat". Better than a significant one time thing, is to make it a consistent reoccurring event. Reinforce the fact that he gets that kind of special time because he DOES generally behave well. Give him an opportunity to express his frustrations or possible jealousy of difficult child's behavior and resulting attention. He might need/want therapy of his own to deal with a difficult child brother. Better yet, any sibling support groups around. That way he'll have support of peers and not feel so alone. [/QUOTE]
