[QUOTE="Star*, post: 419793, member: 4964"] So it would realistically look like this - A second hand car can be difficult child's, for completing the terms of our family agreement, One half of car to be paid by Mom and Dad Here are her goals: (discussed and agreed upon with difficult child - (date) Goal: difficult child GETS HER CAR Idea 1: Certificate of Anger Management Class, Completed by difficult child with qualified therapist, Supervised weekly with State case manager. (quality time) - this ensures safety in our home under this rule: No one will place a hand on anyone else at any time. We will all seek alternative methods to solve our anger issues, and resolve our problems together discussing them as a family. Possibly keeping an anger journal by difficult child that is to remain absolutely and totally private to only be discussed between difficult child and therapist unless difficult child decides to share with family. PERIOD! GOAL: difficult child GETS INSURANCE FOR HER CAR Idea #2. difficult child at 16 years old needs a bank account to save for the things she wants/needs. She will need job skills, and to help her with that we feel she should have some work experience. difficult child will volunteer 5 hours a week at any volunteer shelter OF HER CHOOSING. (hand list) that will pertain to any field she feels she would like a career in, supported by Voc. rehab, Good will or some other job training skill place. (if she wants to be a vet tech - then take her to an animal shelter) if she wants to be a secretary - find her a place where she can put her mad skills to work. etc. But something where she is GETTING INTO THE OUTSIDE WORLD and getting a taste of working. Volunteering so that she can build a resume. Then take that to jobs so she gets an idea of what she may or may not like, and not look like she's quit 10 jobs. Get the idea here ? She's a brilliant kid - Maybe she likes kids - TAKE HER TO THE LIBRARY - let her volunteer to read on weekends and put books up. Walk dogs at the shelter - whatever it is.....get her working towards .....HER......goals. If she's busy she won't be so bored. If she's not bored.....she is less likely to be so underfoot and aggitated. it's just a guess, but I have faith in my niece. She's beautiful, and brilliant.....and I would guess she wants a car....???? With the extra she can buy her Auntie Star - a donkey. [/QUOTE]
