[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I recommend you read "The Explosive Child" and see if you get any good insight there.

You need to completely change your thinking on what is going on here if the conventual approaches are not working.[/quote]

It sounds like you are providing a lot of structure (+) but this kid is wired differently.  What worked for your other kids (and your friend's kids) may not work for him.

Get The Explosive Child and focus on the parts about putting certain rules in a "basket". If your kid is having a meltdown, you don't worry as much about whether or not they floss.

I agree with shoes in the car or some other ideas that give this child some autonomy.
You may have an outside of the box thinker or a kid with a high IQ who sees the world differently.

That doesn't make him a bad kid or you a bad parent, you just need a few more strategies.
