[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 158333, member: 1233"] We spent a long time with a set number of times one of the kids could go to a specific person's house to see if they could/would play. I used a day when Wizard was really annoyed with one of Jessie's friends coming over every 30 minutes for several hours. Then I asked how HIS friends and their families felt when HE did this. Using that as the "springboard" we came up with a certain number of times per day and number of minutes between attempts to go to that friends. Also a consequence for going to that specific house if he was out of hte yard on another excuse/reason/whatever. I typed it up and posted it in several places. It was "the rule", along with the earliest and latest times for first and last attempts (because HE was ready at 5am, but I can guarantee none of the neighbors were, LOL!!!). For me it seemed overly structured, but it did seem to help. I could just point to "the visiting rule" and not engage. [/QUOTE]
