. Lately instead of entertaining him with an argument when he chooses undesirable behavior i'll send him to his room so his N is't being fed by getting attention from any one. so i did and said sit on your couch and don't do anything else for a few min. Of course instead he dicides to rearrange his room . That way when he's corrected I look like the nutty one when he says I got in trouble for cleaning my room."
WOW - That so sounds exactly like what my son would do, and then he would expect to be acknowledged for what a great thing he did by cleaning his room without being told, and become very angry if it is not acknowledged.
How do we get through this? I am so glad I found this group. I'm getting really frustrated at everyone telling me that I am a bad parent because I can't control my child.
