[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, OP, you found the thing that works. It’s called attention. We saw this with our DD and stopped with one child because she was this delightful, happy, engaged person when paid attention to and a beast when not. I think it’s personality because not all kids are like this. My DH and I are exhausted by her and she is a teen now. But, she is thriving and happy. We needed to invest a lot in her. She needs a dedicated caretaker all waking hours to function well. Some probably think I’m crazy but the result has been fantastic. She would be a less successful person if we hadn’t given her the attention she needed. That’s the only trick. It’s a brutally difficult way to live, but it works. [/quote] Thank you. It’s so easy to think he needs punishment and consequences. :( I know long term it is best to love on him even more. I want him to love us when he’s a teen! Thanks for the POV. [/quote]
