[QUOTE="Robinboots, post: 352777, member: 4542"] My daughter was a preemie, and all caught up by 6 months, developmentally. Being a preemie is not an automatic lifelong disadvantage; most kids catch up pretty quickly. She was, however, diagnosis with ADD - no hyperactvitiy on her part, and she's still kind of a slug at 23! She, too, had difficulty transitioning from one activity to another, so I simply started giving her notice - not much, but consistently, as in "Liz, in 5 minutes you need to start picking up toys." And in 5 minutes, I'd tell her "now, it's time to pick up toys." Her pediatrician also recommended a book on "difficult children" and I read and followed pretty much all of it. The notification, the routine, and so forth. Routine is very, very important to many difficult children, for different reasons. [/QUOTE]
