[QUOTE="Chantillylace, post: 553484, member: 15282"] Of course, some of this information is from the handouts the child development specialist gave me. They're from vanderbilt.edu/csefel Basically, every day you have 10 minutes of "special play time." You set a timer and special play time always ends when the time goes off. If they throw a fit, you remind them that they get more time tomorrow. You follow their lead (usually you want to encourage sitting at a table to play though). They choose the toy, and you play what they're playing. The only other way besides the timer that the time ends is if they become aggressive. In that case, there's no chances - it immediately ends and they try again the next day. You want to narrate their play and talk constantly, but don't ask a lot of questions. Just talk about what they're doing. Try to copy them if you get opportunities. Encourage their imagination - if they want to make the car fly, then the car can fly. :) Once that is started and working well, then you can start working on the areas they need work on during play. In my son's case, that's social skills. Any opportunity I have to use it to teach social skills during our play time, then I do. [/QUOTE]
