[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 420423, member: 1991"] Any area where Plan B does not work, is an area that has to become Plan C for now. That's how Plan B is supposed to work. You also need to dig to find out why it's not working for those things. Sometimes it is an inability. Sometimes the alternative pressures are just too great. For example, homework - especially with someone with ADHD, they have to put in such a vsdt amount of effort to get the same result as the next kid who does not have ADHD, that school becomes disheartening and mentally exhausting. Then at the end of their school day, they have to come home and do more! if they are on medications, chances are their medications are wearing off by then, so suddenly it is a LOT harder than it already was during the day. Over time they build up a conditioned response and get into the habit of being oppositional about it. And that is what oppositionality is - a habit. But a hard one to break. Step, you have some brilliant personal insight into this thanks to Onyxx. Marg [/QUOTE]
