[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems obvious to me.  He wants more attention.  Negative attention is still attention.  Have you been distracted or focussed more on his siblings?  Have you taken one-on-one time with him just to have fun (not nag)?

I'd at least give it a try...[/quote]

Thank you for this suggestion. With four children, two of them very young and one with ADHD of course my attention is spread thin. I'm going to make a date to take him out for a special mother & son date, maybe a movie of a book we've both read. He and I both read then discuss books or shows we've enjoyed. We also both enjoy talking about politics. I'm going to plan something special and see if it helps a little. In the past taking him out to dinner has been enjoyable but only a short term solution.[/quote]

Please, posters, have fewer than 4 children so your attention isn't spread thin. I beg you.

Signed, one of 4 who stopped at 2[/quote]

Perhaps I have a set of twins, maybe my last two? I am thankful that this is what you could contribute.[/quote]
