[QUOTE="Frieda, post: 703335, member: 18242"] I have one child who needs clear discipline from time to time as in "this is the rule, you will follow it or this will be your consequence ".It works for her. And then I have a son who this has never worked for, the only result were roving meltdowns and oppositional behaviors. The only thing that works for him is to figure out where he is coming from and figure out with him what he needs to do better. Really, at the end of the day I am a big believer in doing what works for each kid and there is no one-style-fits-all-kids parenting style. If discipline has been tried and is not working, try a different approach. For my son the only approach that has worked is by Ross Greene, he has a website with info and materials (all free) called livesinthebalance.org. It is an approach used by many schools as well (particularly for kids who do not respond to consequences/punishments) In some ways it is less of a different approach and more of a shift on how you look at your kid's behavior and in turn how you respond to it. It has made a huge difference for us, so I just want to throw it our there. [/QUOTE]
