[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 215895, member: 1233"] Star is right about the power of a $1 toy, thank heavens for a Dollar Store! And they really DO want time with you. Star is not the only one who had to be on the phone to praise her child. My son could not "hear" or somehow accept ANY praise that we said to him. It simply didn't register. But if he heard me tell someone something nice about him over the phone, well that worked better than anything we could have said any other way. We even "faked" calls to his grandparents at times so that he would hear us praise him to them. It seemed that he ONLY registered praise if we said it to someone else while "hiding" it from him. While this seemed far more manipulative than I like to do things, well, it worked. And with a kid who's self esteem was terribly battered by a cruel group of teachers, this was as important as anything else we ever did. Have you talked to his doctor about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) yet? [/QUOTE]
