[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I don't think something is "wrong" with him besides the fact that people make excuses for him. I am most definitely not one of those people. I want to fix this. He's been evaluated recently (7 months ago) and he's find according to school specialists and an outside specialist. I am actually a step mother to him and not his biological mom. I do raise him full time however. I work tirelessly for my children and I need some advice. I need a tactic that will stick. My husband works beside me in following through with consequences so that's no issue. My third grader has this idea in his head that he's cute and everyone wants to hear what he has to say and that people think it's cute when he tickles. I couldn't sleep last night thinking about this. It seems like whenever he is with his grandmother (husbands mother), she is making excuses for him and it's rubbing off on him. For example:

I will talk to him about his calling out in class and his response will be "I just have a lot to say!" Which sounds like my mother in law! What should I do?? Advice?? I've told my husband my concerns but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't seem to be a big deal to him. She's a good grandma. [/quote]
I hear you OP. He needs a punishment that you consider out of line with the offense, something that will without a doubt show him that his behavior isn't cute and won't be tolerated. And it needs to happene every time he does this until he gets it through his head.[/quote]

OP here. I've suggested taking away his Harry Potter wands and things in his room which are items he loves dearly. My husband thinks that will cause him to be scared to tell us if he does things at school (which he's actually been very good about. He doesn't lie. He comes home and says I got in trouble for....") I don't want him to be afraid to be honest but I also fear he'll be THAT KID. I want him to have a good school experience and have friends. [/quote]
