[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He usually elopes, go somewhere by himself to calm down, he did today on the soccer field in camp. When there is confrontation and he has to get his way. I gave him consequence of no TV entire week, what else should I be doing? [/quote]

Consequences aren’t going to work for this. It’s not like he gets upset and then stops and thinks, “I want to bite, but if I do, I will lose tv again.” Stop with the consequences. Focus instead on teaching him tools to calm down. Walking away is a great tool! He just can’t run all the way away from camp. And try to put him in situations where he’s not going to get upset enough that he feels like he needs to bite. He might not be ready for soccer camp, for example.[/quote]

+1.  Give him back the tv.  He doesn’t have the coping skills yet.  You’re asking him to do something he doesn’t know how to do and then punishing him for not knowing how to do it.[/quote]

Disagree with this.  Going back on consequences is saying that he is incapable of good behavior.  It is demoralizing and infantalizing.  [/quote]
