Oh OK; I thnk you're right. I wasn't even thinking of him in terms of being a troll, but just questioning whether so much attention to what seemed to me like negative behavior would help him change in a positive way.
Those of us who have had children have learned, often through our own errors, that lots of genuine praise for correct, healthy behaviors combined with benign neglect and rare mild punishment for less desirable behaviors works really well - the child wants to do well and retains hgh self-esteem.
