[quote=Anonymous]OP you need to read Empowering Parents website. Some of this advice is not good for your situation. Your teen is becoming/already is oppositional. Most of this "up the ante" stuff is going to create a power struggle which will result in an escalation of behavior. Once a kid really crosses the line, it's easier to go there again. No, I would not get in the habit of picking up after him or allowing certain things to slide, but Empowering Parents may help you decide which battles to fight and which to let go. You might need an order of priority right now vs a struggle over every little thing. I cannot advise you for your particular situation - but honestly, I would look at the website (you are so not alone) and I would consider cognitive behavioral therapy asap. Your DS is having significant trouble responding constructively to his emotions- whether it's anxiety, depression, anger, etc. [/quote]
