[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I should say that he has ADHD and traditional punishments like taking things away aren't a good strategy. As for the pool situation, I'm not sure how you woul envision removing a 6 year old boy from a swimming pool in a way that is t violent or at least physically domineering and aggressive. I'm not going to physically drag him from the pool. I left. I can control my behavior not his. But I would like a positive discipline method to help get rid of what has become a habit.[/quote]

Your excuses for why you "can't" discipline explain why your son is acting like this. You refuse to be the parent. Deal with it then. [/quote]

Do you have an ADHD kid, PP?[/quote]

Oh please! She literally can't even figure out how to exert her authority to get him out of the pool when he misbehaves, this is not all due to the ADHD and had a good deal to do with the fact she lets her son control her. Making him leave the pool is absolutely a valid consequence for calling your mom stupid at the pool. ADHD or not, that is a reasonable and logical punishment and she says she can't do it. [/quote]

You didn't answer the question.

Do you yourself parent an ADHD child, PP?[/quote]

I do not. My child has other special needs. The ADHD is not relevant to my advice anyway since it correlates with what she was told to use as punishment for ADHD anyway. It's valid advice. I somewhat doubt he even has ADHD since she inky through it out when she got advice she didn't like. If I have a parenting question that is informed by my child's special needs, I mention them up front. Op's kid is probably just poorly behaved and doesn't listen to her since she has no authority so she's decided he's ADHD. [/quote]
