[quote=Anonymous]I want to be firm now to prevent the 27-year-old basement-dwelling car-smashing mooch alluded to earlier. But I have a hard time knowing what to expect of my 24 year old. When do I lay down a consequence? When do I ignore behavior? And being consistent with my husband is even harder. For example, I'll say "It's time to get dressed. Do you want the blue or the orange shirt?" He'll say no and run away. I will then chase him and put on his shirt myself. But when should he be able to get dressed himself? Knowing what he should be able to do when is the hardest part. I do my best, however, to be consistent and to follow up my words with action, even if that means we leave the playground or take a 5-min break from lunch. How do you figure out what a normally developing child should be able to do at particular ages?[/quote]
