[QUOTE="totoro, post: 254928, member: 3155"] Yeah that is a tough one. I would have a hard time with rewarding something that he really has no control over? Try telling me to go to bed when I am Manic! HA HA Sticker charts are a joke here also. Sounds like they are grasping at straws with him. Or starting from square one. So he is doing everything he is supposed to? But his chemical imbalance fluctuates and causes him to not be able to sleep at times? Right? I don't see how a sticker can fix that! LOL That is just the cynic in me. But that is how I feel when our therapist tried to say the same thing regarding something else to us. I was just telling husband last night that a group of parents with kids like ours would come up with better suggestions than most doctor's and therapist's. We need our own clinic! We have to keep with our schedule, but mix it up depending on K's moods. So sometimes it is- she just flat out passes out! Yippee. Other times she needs a back rub, books read to her. Night light on or off. Sound machine on or off. Aromatherapy spray. Weighted blanket. Or other times we just give her her hand held Didj game and let her fall asleep playing that. And if all else fails- STICKER CHARTS!!! [/QUOTE]
