BRANDON OR BARNDON
Welcome to the next edition of Brando's World. Yes sports fans we got over the tea pot. No more yelling and screaming every time I have tea. We are all very grateful that it is over. Now the next problem. Brandon has decided that his name should be spelled BARNDON. If we argue with him he gets VERY upset. Temper tantrum extraordinare. I guess it started at school. They sent a note home on Friday, saying he was getting upset and not writing his name correctly. Now, you must understand, Brandon has been working on writing his name for about 9 months. It's not something new. But in typical Brando style he just decided that he wanted to change it. In church today he threw a major wingy because he wanted to write BARNDON on the envelope and not BRANDON. In hind site that was not the place to fight him, but I was helping and we made the R and he went ballistic. I'm hoping this one doesn't last long.

I'd be this goes the same way as the "teapot phobia".

Just another thought:
Next time he spells it this way, start calling him "Barndon" until he asks "why?" (this shouldn't take long). Then explain to him that that's how he prefers to write his name. This may be the best way to get him to understand the difference: wait until you have made him curious about the problem, then explain it to him.
My karate instructor used to find a weakness in my fighting and then exploit it repeatedly until I would realize that there was something wrong and ask him about it. Forcing me to ask the question made it easier for him to teach me the lesson.
