[QUOTE="Shari, post: 345032, member: 1848"] Our behavior consultant a few years back suggested teaching delayed gratification in a series of very tiny steps. He told us to get and carry small candies or something that Wee liked in our pocket to use as tokens. When he asked for something, [I]even if we are right there and can do it right this instant[/I], hand him a candy and say, I will do that for you in 15 seconds. And then, in 15 seconds, do it. The hope is the candy will pacify the 15 seconds, and when he starts to handle the 15 seconds, make it 20. Then 30, etc. You increase the length of time gradually after handing him the token, and then eventually start slowly not handing the token. we did a version of this in order to take Wee into stores, and it worked well, tho it took a lot of time.
