[QUOTE="notnowkids, post: 350341"] I swear, I could just about scream whenever we get a "helpful" handout from our doctor. I'm reading over the one from this session, and one of his suggestions for this week is to help difficult child get organized, i.e. have a place for everything and everything in it's place. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER TWO YEARS!!!! Everything has a place. Whenever we move or rearrange things, I do the initial organization/cleanup and then let everyone know where everything goes. The problem is that no one, husband included, puts a DARN thing back, and then when difficult child can't find something, she has a complete and utter meltdown. For example, here's an excerpt from this week's handout: --[B]Help organize to prevent frustration.[/B] Put things in one place when shes done with it. School items go into one place[B] (into her backpack, then into her room in a cubby in her closet)[/B]. Stuff for church or for a particular sport goes all in one place [B](travel Bible stays in the car)[/B]. All library books go into only ONE spot on the shelf so that they can be found again without looking in 50 places [B](second shelf to the far right)[/B]. GAH! I'm just so irritated. He keeps suggesting that we try things that we have ALREADY TRIED AND THEY DON'T WORK. :angry-very: [/QUOTE]
