Current battles......with ss 6

Wiping his but. Why wont he just do it.

Quiet timeouts...its over so much faster if he just does it.

Chewing with his mouth open. . .he does this one on purpose. Dh cant stand it, so we remind him everyday. Every meal. Ugh
We tried ignoring it when we realised it was intentional. He will try to move into our ciew and chew really loud and smack his lips to the point of food falling out pf his mouth. Wwwhhhhyyyy!

Do guys just think wiping is optional. It that where skid marks come from?

My 8 yr old does the same with wipping. I make him wash them by hand. It has stoped after the 3 third time. The eatting thing, i would make him leave the table and then return to eat alone.

We teied that for a month. He soon learned if he wanted to be done just start smacking your lips. Lol

Mark one up for ss.

 Exactly - you reacted to it.  You have to truly ignore it for long enough that it's not interesting anymore.  If you really don't react at all, it's not something he'll keep doing on purpose for years.

buy him some wet wipes (we have the same issue with my 3)-when the wipe comes up white-he's good

And as far as the other behavior at the table-ignore it-he's doing it to piss you off lol.

This is why I feed SS6 first then feed the girls and myself. So we're not subjected to any of it.

I think you should seat him elsewhere for meals until he is ready to respect everyone else at the table/ the house rules/ eat properly. I also agree with having him scrub out his own skid marks.
