[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 332552, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]I'd take the transition down even further. My son wm would freak when he had to shut down his games for school. I verbally warned wm that he had 15 minutes & then warned him every 3 minutes until it was time to shut down. I also set 2 timers - one in the kitchen & one in the living room. It took awhile but wm learned that the longer he fought after the timer went off was time he missed that evening on his game. Additionally, once the timer is set it's not me telling him it's time to stop it's the timer. Seemed to stop his arguments with me but he'd throw the timer every now & then. We slowly worked wm from playing games to reading a book outloud. Now, in his group home, wm reads the paper in the morning. Give it a shot - may or may not work. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
