Hi All,
I met with the Dr yesterday. Because of my son's size and weight, he did not want to make a change in medications. I did not want to increase, just change to see if something worked better...
He wants me to try a behavior Mod -- program at home. I have been working with my son and his challenges for five + years now. I have not found ANY programs that work. They tend to do great for 48 hours then fail with HUGE explosions everyday thereafter, when he does not achieve what ever goal or incentive he wanted. I have tried 15 minute intervals and entire day and everything in between, i have tried clean cut awards and consequences and flexible consequences... but each time things end up worse. I have also started with a plan that their is no doubt he would be successful everyday, with goals relating to getting out of bed and getting dressed... somehow he still fails...
I am looking for ANY home management idea that has had success with children who are not motivated by rewards/incentives or has a method of working through the explosive side when the child does not meet the goals set for him.
We have many serious and minor areas to work through
