[quote=Anonymous]Is he ignoring you but knows the rules? In other words, does he act properly at restaurants, other's homes or more formal family events? The rules aren't that hard but it is hard to model them all the time. But if you don't follow them as a matter of habit, then your son won't either. If he knows the rules but is acting like a slacker at the table even after you remind him, he is just being disobedient. Find an appropriate punishment that you think will work and implement it. My kids know the rules and sometimes forget but if they start to ignore them, they go to their room without supper and that is where they stay until dinner is over. Then they can return to the area. I will not spend the entire dinner reminding them to act like humans. [/quote]
