[QUOTE="Jena, post: 212077, member: 4514"] My easy child did that at one point. difficult child does it now. I will say ok 5 min. showertime (i always give a countdown for her) than she'll still not be ready or say no. Same with us leaving the houes to go just about anywhere. So, now what I do is countdown to when we will go, or shower or hw. than when it's time to do whatever it is I take her by the hand, I no longer wait for the no and lead her to whatever it is she has to do. Granted hw can be so much harder. If difficult child doesn't make an attempt to do her hw she loses her t.v. time to watch her show at night. I just look for an attempt. Her hw can be quite alot some nights, my personal cut off is 45 min. which is long for her age. i have told teacher that's our cut off also. I do have to keep redirecting her with hw and i can never ever leave her alone to do it. sorry that's how I do it. I found myself getting into "debates" with her over the simplest things lol. I was like hmm ok i'm totally dropping to her level now. :) I did it without realizing. yet I now find a few things getting better. Shower for instance since she knows I will come find her and drag her if need be by her hand she folds easier now for me :) Hope that was of some help I know it can be frustrating [/QUOTE]
