[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 52 declines - I think he could also stop replying - ghosting can be cruel but not sure there are any other options[/quote] He tries ghosting and the texts keep coming so he responds now and then.[/quote] Ok, teach your child not to respond now and then. That's "intermittent reinforcement" and it's extremely effective in getting the behavior to continue. It makes the other child think 10 texts will result in a reply. Ghost and stay ghosted and eventually, after way too long, the other kid will get bored. [/quote]
