[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 182914, member: 3419"] Okay, then you've got to find something that does work. Does he like video games? My son is obsessed with-them and I just unplug the mouse. Like ML said, it's about leverage. You have to hit him where it counts. What does he like to do best? Once you figure it out, it's amazing how well it will work. Also, a carrot approach works. Once you take away what he loves, then giving it back is a carrot ... i.e. "I really like it when you call me from the neighbor's house so I know where you are. I'll let you play a video game for 15 min. ea. time you do that when you get home." (Of course, that may backfire, and he may call you from the neighbors every 5 min. just to earn several hrs of video games, LOL!) Just brainstorming here ... [/QUOTE]
