Wow, can I relate! I've just started a zero tolerance rule about my son's very foul mouth (when angry -which is ALOT of the time). I told him I would not drive him anywhere (except to and from school), rent any movies or games, or buy him spring clothes (except socks & underwear) until his...

We didn't have the same issues with our DD son, now almost 9, but he has Oral Motor apraxia. To stimulate different areas of his mouth, our speech therapist would use an unusual kind of brush with very unique nubby rubber bristles -available from speech catalogs, to touch certain areas of his...

We used sign language and pictures to encourage my DD son, now almost 9. He used sign language until he was about 3 1/2 years old. For pictures, we would even take pictures of his favorite toys, family members, etc. - the things he knew and loved the most about his world - and made small...

I tried banging lids from my pots & pans together, he hated it. (That was after I took his quilt and pillow.) I banged the lids for almost 5 minutes, then told him I was going upstairs for the pitcher of water. He got up before I got back downstairs.... it was very annoying but effective.

Hi, I'm brand-new - my first posting, so hopefully I'm doing this right. It would take all morning to describe the difficulties we've faced this past year, with our oldest son who is 15 years old. My husband and I differ a great deal on parenting (and yes, I know it's a HUGE problem, and...
