[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 345257, member: 3444"] I was going to suggest the writing thing, too. FWIW, my husband has a very hard time retaining anything I tell him verbally. difficult child 1 to a certain extent, too. Short term memory issues, I guess. I have found that when I write it down, either as a note or an email that he reads, he retains it probably 99% of the time. Another technique I use is having them repeat back to me what I've said to them as confirmation -- "What did you hear me say?" and they then hopefully will repeat what I've just said. I might even have them tell me what that means after they've repeated it. [/QUOTE]
