[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh I have. He gets several warnings. He sits out, he gets his lego or wii taken away. He has to do his homework instead of play with us. I separate him and his younger sister all the time. I make the rules very clear and am consistent. I talked to his parents today about it and have mentioned it before about 3 or 4 times. They say they're "working on it"[/quote]

Then you say, "Can you tell me exactly what techniques you guys are using so that I can be sure I'm being consistent?" If they're not doing anything, you'll know. If they're doing something different, you'll know.

Here's how it should go: DS says something rude: WARNING. DS breaks any other rule: time-out. after time-out, everything resets and you treat him normally. if he gets 3 time outs in a day, loss of video games for a week, loss of allowance, something sticking. Then when he is rude, and getting in trouble, you gently and firmly remind him of this fact: "Keven, you're making some poor choices today and are getting your second time-out now. Please remember that if you get a third time-out, you will lose this week's allowance." Then, beyond that, stop reacting! He can see it makes you uncomfortable and has an effect on you but this should be just like any other bad behavior - saying a swear word repeatedly, threatening violence, all things young boys experiment with talking about. Warning, time-out, consequence, move on. Otherwise he'll keep doing it just for the entertainment of watching you react to him.[/quote]
