[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 584342, member: 1233"] Do you all remember the comic strip where the owner is scolding the dog and the dog is hearing "Good blah blah blah dog blah blah blah treats"? I honestly think if we do not have our difficult child's full and complete attention that this is pretty much what they do. They are very selective in their hearing, and often refuse to hear what they do not like unless you make a pont of getting their attention and keeping it. When Wiz was about five or six I realized that even if he was looking at me he probably was not listening unless it was about something he liked. I also realized that no matter where in the house he was, if I said chocolate chip cookies or chocolate pudding or whatever, he heard that and came running. So I used it. I would say "chocolate chip cookies" and once I had his attention, I would say whatever I needed him to hear and comprehend. The first six or seven times the chocolate item was given every time, and then I started only giving it once in a while. Not on any regular schedule so that he could ignore 3 chocolate summons and pay attention on the 4th when the treat was given. It was one of the most successful things I did to get him to hear me. I wonder if something like that would help get her attention and then help her control her impulses even a little bit. Just don't say you will do something that you won't. [/QUOTE]
