[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 590324, member: 11847"] Malika, just try it. You could be amazed how it helps. I have seen it in both V and Sweet Pea. It helps them A LOT. I don't do the schedule for everything and every day. But for the times that I know will be challenging: any outing that involve longer drive time and several stops for V, transition from daycare to home for Sweet Pea. Slowly, you build you repertoire of pictures and get to know when the child needs or not. Maybe, start real small: is there one event that always get J upset. Let's say it is coming home after his skating lesson. Then you want to do a schedule for this specific transition> first picture: J is skating. 2nd: take skates off and put shoes on. 3rd: in the car. 4th: picture of your house. 5th: dinner (or whatever he is supposed to do when coming home). Clip those pictures in sequence on a big yellow enveloppe. Have him put the pictures in the enveloppe as the events happen. In the event J has a negative comment about it, you can have an answer ready "I know lots of kids who use it and it helps everyone stay happy", "J, it's like a treasure map, you think there will be something special waiting for you at the dinner table?" (I would keep the treat real small: little desert, a 50cent toy... or a card giving permission to a favorite activity). It just blows my mind when I see the results of such a simple accomodation (simple once you've printed the pictures! lol although I have a printer with wifi: click print on my iphone and the pictures comes out of the printer, pretty cool).
