[QUOTE="Andy, post: 332394, member: 5096"] How old is she? As for the day to day scheduling - if she is old enough, you can go to her tonight with a poster board and say, "I am sorry that this morning did not go well. What happened? Was there not enough time for something? Do we need to redo the shedule to make the mornings easier? I have a poster board here to set up a new schedule. There a certain things you have to do every morning, but most of these things you can decide which order you want them done in. We can also try to give you more time in certain areas but then you may have to get up a little earlier." With the ODD seeming to get worse, maybe the medication isn't the right one for her. When was the last medication check you had? Is there one coming up? If not, I would call the doctor's office and ask to leave a message for the doctor. List all the negative behaviors that you thought could have been helped by the medication and ask if the dosage should be changed or a different medication should be prescribed. Great job not yelling - I have a hard time with that one myself when I feel a power struggle coming on. Once that schedule is set, nothing wrong in saying, "This is what you need to do now. Nothing can happen until this gets done. You may sit in your room until you decide to do this. Oh, and by the way, if your schedule is not done in time, you will miss out on going to that event, or watching your favorite show, ect. ect. ect. The longer it takes you to do your duties, the less free time you will have." [/QUOTE]
