[QUOTE="Steely, post: 476771, member: 3301"] Crystal - have you read The Explosive Child? Or maybe you can even look Dr Greene up online? His technique is amazing and one we all use here on the board. Right now difficult child is going to test your every action - and you need to choose A, B, or C basket into which you put your requests in. For example - I would not worry right now about him doing too many chores. You need to just stay simple. I would focus on the basic necessities, going to school, and being respectful. Period. Start him off with those 2 things - and if he is successful - move on. He is looking for a fight - and the key is not to have one available for him. It sounds like this would be spoiling him - but you are not - you are disengaging the fight pattern. There are some old threads here about this concept, and if you started a new thread, I bet others would also chime in. It truly is the only thing that ever worked for Matt. He is 21 and I still practice this concept when I am around him - [/QUOTE]
