[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]

I have a 7 YO with challenging behavior, and he knows that rules are different at the pool than other places because the pool can be dangerous.  He knows that if I have to ask him more than twice to exit the pool we will not be going back to the pool for at least a month.  He knows that if he doesn't listen to me at the pool we immediately go home.  I go over this in the car on the way to the pool, and generally he's able to manage his behavior there.

You don't have to physically remove your kid from the pool, but saying "If you're not out of the pool in the next minute we won't be back at the pool for the rest of the month" is a pretty good incentive.[/quote]
