[QUOTE="wldinnh, post: 46814, member: 3763"] When my difficult child is in true fighting form, I sometimes just write down what I need her to do and hand it to her. She'll roll her eyes, make a comment and toss the paper aside. But when I just walk away, she does look at it and does what I've written. To make her feel in control I usually write something like: "brush your teeth, put shoes on, put lunchbag in backpack, meet me at car at 7:35". That way she can do the things in whatever order she wants and isn't being told what to do, since "being told" is equal to being tortured in her mind! [/QUOTE]
