I know it's more complicated than this and you've been given some great advice about all the ins and outs by the PPs... AND, though I've done TT with lots of kids through work, I've never done it with my own.... AND you know how he ticks best of course....

But my feeling is that he knows what the expectation is, he knows what he's supposed to do and when, but he's not responding well at all to the pressure or attention. So maybe just making it clear one more time and then giving it no more attention or 'air time' might make him feel less self-conscious about it. It also seems like he's got something here he can control - you want him to, and he can make sure you don't 'win' as such. But if there's no sense of pressure from you then there's nothing for him to fight against IYKWIM.

Dunno. Good luck. Lots of TT vibes being sent your way. xoxo
