[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most recommended method is to offer a prize in the morning if he goes to bed without causing trouble, and you should try this. He sounds so emotional that this method may not work on its own so you could combine the reward with the closet punishment since that does actually seem to be working.[/quote] There is subset of children for whom rewards just do. not. work. My son, for example.[/quote] Then I would recommend the book The Explosive Child. Because if rewards do not work for your child then chances are punishments and negative consequences like time out do not work either. FFS do not lock your child in the closet. Also - if it's a bedtime issue, try 1 mg of melatonin which can be really effective for children that do not respond to typical punishments and rewards as you have described.[/quote]
