[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 254215, member: 1991"] Just another quick thought - I have great difficulty getting difficult child 3 to watch movies or anything with a story-line, because of his extreme anxiety over conflict (necessary to any story-line) and also to anything unknown. So I not only choose carefully, I bribe him to do it. I bribe with appropriate connecting positive things, such as offering to make a large batch of popcorn for us to eat while we watch the movie, and also promising to play a computer game with him afterwards, if he watches the movie with me. I let him negotiate terms, but I win, if I get him to watch the movie. I know once he has seen it he will want to watch it again and again, and there will now be another movie in his repertoire. So I'm easily pleased and will happily offer to play computer games with him (Mario Party, usually) as a reward. I'm getting really good at Mario Party! Marg [/QUOTE]
