[quote=Anonymous]One thing our son's psychologist said was to keep the interaction short. As a pp said, he wants a fight; don't give him one. Kid: You aren't the boss of me!! Parent: (internally rolling your eyes, likely) "I'm going to let you try that again" Kid: *angry glare, silently challenging you* Parent: "you've made your choice. We'll discuss it later". WALK AWAY. At this point it isn't about the homework. It likely won't be completed. You need clear consequences spelled out. List them somewhere your child can see them. What is the consequence for being defiant? Enact that. Calmly explain that the consequence is for his defiance. Then let it go and start over the next day.[/quote]
