SP. The medication advice is sound, but I was referring to this, which I really liked:

[quote=Anonymous]My child is not SN, so I will not pretend to relate.  However, my 5 year old also doesn't respond well to No so I have found more creative ways to garner the desired behavior without using the dreaded No word very often.  For example:  Can I have a cookie?  "I know that a cookie sounds delicious and I wish we could eat them all the time, but Mommy's job is to make sure you stay healthy and continue to grow so this time we need to eat some fruit.  Apple or Banana, you choose. "

Or:  You have been watching TV for quite a while.  We can only watch 3 hours in a week.  I think you should turn it off now so you'll be able to watch your show again tomorrow.

Also, for some reason "we don't hit" is easier for a child to swallow than No, stop hitting"

Always acknowledge how your child feels, and it will go a long way.  I know stopping to play and leaving the park right now is very frustrating for you, but we need to get home for dinner and I promise we will come back later this week.[/quote][/quote]
