If he doesn’t move, I promise to plan for more time for next time, and/or threaten to reduce his gaming time If he yells or ignores me. His biggest thing right now is gaming on the tablet and watching Roblox videos. He loses game time for being defiant and yelling, and if he persists, I start adding hours or days (yelling louder or three times) to reduce more of his gaming time. That usually quiets him down even before he complies to leaving.

While he is exhausting the conversation, I remind him that I’m the parent, the boss, the planner, etc… and that we can talk and plan for next time after he calms down. I speak clearly and quietly, to bring him to my level of breathing and heart rate.
