Don & Ann, I first use a stern voice which sometimes will work, therefore no further action is needed. Other times, I first use a stern voice and hold him ...
Don/Ann, My son understands alot more then some of the other children effected with ATRX, and when my son is in danger of hurting himself, he has to understand...
Jasmine, I do not think spanking is the first thing you need to do to or spanking them until they cry, however it is very stressful to deal with a child with...
