[blparent] troubled parent

[Veronica Smith]

I think my child will blow up if you put a silence timer on her. (lol) She
has been in trouble many times for talking after she was told not to.  I am
glad to see it actually happens to other children. Smile!

Stimes, you just have to make them do it.  I used to think that they should
clean up etc and they should, but some times you have to stay with them and
make sure it's done.  We have the silence rule here.  If you keep talking
when told not too, and are put on silence until the timer goes off.

Totally agree wite time outdoors.
Also think you need to be clear to him in what he needs to do.  I read your
note and have no idea what it is you need him to do.  
What does "talking when he's not supposed to" mean? What about "not
listening or following directions".
Seriously, you do need to be very clear to him in what he needs to do in a
step by step way.
As for time out, I'm not sure it would work.  Part of me thinks he just may
need some cuddle time.
Time outs don't work with my kid.  I'll put her stuff in time out as that
does work.  So if I need her to clean up her trains, and she won't then
I'll say "Okay, they will go into time out" and if she still doesn't agree
to clean them up or at least help me do so while being a pleasant human
being, then I'll put them in time out for the rest of the day.
Finally, does your mom or dad have any insights? My parents are great at
giving me some good perspective.  Do you do any activities such as church?
I ask because your son will be exposed to people who aren't getting paid to
spend time with him.  They may have some useful perspectives as well.

My suggestion is to be diligent on having time outdoors every day.  Find
something, even if it?™s the same thing daily that involves the outdoors.
I have n eight month old so its very different but I notice that if I keep
him indoors for too long, he gets edgy.  We hike, we walk, we shop,
something to change his environment and it usually immediately helps.

I bet it will be good for you too.  Stay strong and good luck.

boy.  Live with parents, ugh!

I need behavioral modifacations other than spanking.  He doesn?™t listen
well, follow directions, stay focused, and talks when he?™s not supposed to.

Wanting to stay away from spanking for punishment.  Anyone have any advice
for me?
