[QUOTE="Night Owl Mama, post: 694737, member: 20490"] I think the only thing holding me back from telling him no way no how is that I don't want to discourage him. In parenting him as a kid with autism, we used a series of rewards and consequences. I was taught by his doctors and therapists to keep the consequences short (ground him for an hour, not a day or a week, etc) and as soon as his behavior corrected, to respond positively. This did seem to help a lot. So I guess when I see all these positive steps he's taking, and I still hold to the original plan, it's feels harsh and I am not sure he will understand it. I may be expecting too little of him though. He isn't a little kid anymore. [/QUOTE]
