Dylan,
I picked up a new management tool from one of your teachers.
When I'm getting frustrated with you for refusing or delaying after I've asked you to go do something, rather than escalate my tone of voice or threaten consequences, I just say "why don't you hold my hand and we'll walk there together".
Your combativeness dissipates in a heartbeat. You take my hand, walk to wherever, and usually take care of business.
Dad
