[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 115794, member: 1991"] Daralex, we sometimes 'play' or in some other way take a break. I also use food - difficult child 3 is very thin, he often forgets to eat, so sometimes while he's working I'll push a giant bowl of freshly popped popcorn at him (I love my popcorn machine!). Or nachos. Or a burger. Anything - food. When he's been distracted and not able to work, I collect his work together and we go find somewhere else quiet. Maybe we'll stay in the car and work, parked somewhere pretty (near the beach, or in a rainforest). Or we will get out and set up camp somewhere for him to get some work done. He has said to me after a while, "I think I'm back in work mode now. I will be able to finish this at home," so we go home and he continues to work well. As you said, different things work for different kids and different situations, you use what works and ignore the rest. Marg [/QUOTE]
