[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 291429, member: 1233"] I used to role play with Wiz. Esp when he couldn't figure out why I would get so frustrated when he did certain things. We only lasted through a morning of "Opposite Day". I was acting like him and he was to act like me. I woke him up by bounding into his room asking questions rapid fire and loud. I chewed with my mouth open (making all the slurpy smacking noises I could), knocked over a drink, kept pulling on his clothing, interrupted him non-stop, pestered him to let me watch a movie, to play a game with me, to take me shopping, to buy me a toy, etc... He had to fix breakfast (cereal and milk), answer my questions, and deal with the stuff that I was doing. He even had to deal with the drink I spilled (I made sure it was water because I didn't want to have to let it sit their and be yucky). About an hour before lunchtime he BEGGED me to stop. But it sort of helped him see how his actions were annoying and a PITA to other people. Does it work to grab "teachable moments" with him? When a person you see does something good or bad, polite or rude, what happens if you point it out to him? This "guerilla social skills training" was quite helpful with Wiz and even with the other kids. We were at one school picking Wiz up when a parent we knew came in and started yelling and screaming because her kid got drizzled on a little bit when a sudden storm came up. It was bad enough that another parent went into the office and called 911. I used that to let the kids see some of the possible consequences of having a temper tantrum when you are an adult. I have only had 2 temper tantrums in public from all 3 of them combined. maybe you can use things like that to help difficult child understand some of the social skills? [/QUOTE]
