[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 317746, member: 84"] Nomad I'm just curious......I've forgotten difficult child's diagnosis. You know me and my holey brain. lol But I'm wondering if difficult child has any diagnosis that would encompass the developmental/maturity issues? If not......this may be why the personal therapist is pushing her and assigning her tasks to do. Not saying that what therapist is doing is bad, actually if I could've found someone that creative for Travis he might have actually used a therapist. But if difficult child is significantly lagging behind her peers.....you might have to center her treatment around her delays and be cautious of pushing too hard. A fine line to walk, for sure. One I seem to always be on with Travis. I want to help him acheive independence but on the other hand I have to always be watchful I'm not pushing him too fast for things he's not quite ready for. I'm just tossing out an idea here.......but with all of difficult child's many evictions is it possible she is afraid to live away from home on her own? Sort of shooting herself in the foot, hoping enough times and you'll just give up and let her come home? I know the hardest thing for me with Travis is I'm never really postive where he is developmentally. In one area (like a job) he can be doing wonderfully but in another he can be acting with the maturity level of a 10 year old. This can be enormously frustrating. [/QUOTE]
