[quote=Anonymous]It's too late now, but although mine is similarly contrary, I found it was OK to do a compliment on the fly -- if I walked past a newly cleaned room while he was in it, I could in and say, "Wow! Pretty nice!" and then keep moving. I could not say, "I noticed you did a thorough job of cleaning your room, and I really appreciate it." He'd probably bring a goat in the next day. Similarly, I could offer to help match socks and let him watch something he likes on the DVR, but I couldn't tell him how glad I was to see that he was taking responsibility for keeping his environment orderly and how he really seems to be turning himself around, blah blah blah. Earnest doesn't work at all with my kid. [/quote]
