[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 394079"] DDD, actually, what you said about the home environment being less structured than the school day is something that the therapist has been saying for a while, and while I do agree with him that difficult child really likes the structure of the school day that doesn't answer why he was able to turn off the tanrum when he thought husband was filming him on the video camera. I think, in part, that some of his behavior is learned. He thinks that if he throws a fit about something he will get his way. I don't know why he thinks that because not only does he not get what he wants, but he loses everything else as well. You would think that by the age of 11 1/2 he would have learned that it doesn't work. But he just keeps pushing and pushing. He's so rude and nasty to everyone. Case in point: this morning he was sitting at the kitchen table and asked me to pour him some orange juice. I was making lunches for husband and easy child and told him that either he could do it himself or he would have to wait until I was done doing the things I needed to do. I walked out of the kitchen to get something and all of a sudden I hear, "WHAT ABOUT MY JUICE!!!!????" Again, I quietly told him that I was doing something and that either he could pour it himself or wait until I was done. He waited until I was done with what I was doing, but does he need to be so nasty when it's something that he's just too darn lazy to do himself? He thinks that he asked me to do something and that I should jump up the minute he wants something. It doesn't work that way and if he doesn't learn that he's going to be in for a very difficult life when he's an adult out in the working world. I'm rambling. Sorry. Some days I just feel like it's a hopeless case. Pam [/QUOTE]
