[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 236783, member: 1550"] Some difficult child's just wont' cooperate. Or can't, depending on the child. Expecting the same thing from a difficult child as a "typical" kid who is NOT wired differently is a recipe for failure unless you use a different approach and figure out what works. It's also a big stress on you to treat him as if he's just any ole kid and will do it because it is a reasonable request. difficult child's are angry and frustrated a lot of the time and take it out on others (much as adults who are frustrated and angry often do). All I can say is, whatever YOU can deal with, that's what I'd make him do. But don't expect him to cooperate or you'll be frustrated and he'll feel like a loser. Yes, even though they don't comply, they feel like losers. It's really your call. You know your child best and how much YOU can handle. Frankly, we warrier moms also need to think of our own needs or we won't be good for our families. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
