[QUOTE="Andy, post: 178081, member: 5096"] That is one of the small things I do to give my kids the chance to do "the right thing"; ask them a question that they know the answer to such as, "Have you brushed your teeth". Then when they do not do the right thing, "Yep" when it should have been "not yet, will do now", things start to fuel! UGH I am trying not to give them this chance any more in certain areas. I was thinking about how board entries seem to indicate that our difficult children are becoming a little more intense these days. I wonder if it is the mid summer blahs? The excitement of no school has worn off and the boredom of Summer is setting in? Then in about two weeks, we will add the Back to School Nerves (excitement and nervousness). Let's all brace ourselves, it is coming! (husband and I have not yet told difficult child who his home room teacher will be - it is not who he hopes it will be. I think the morning of a therapist appointment might be best?) There is always discussion of when to have VBS. I hate VBS that is scheduled the first two weeks after school is over - Kids do not want the scheduled activity so soon. Then in August, when Summer is now boring, they need VBS as a fun activity to get through one more week. [/QUOTE]
