[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 330741, member: 1991"] Did you notice, though, that he worked better when you worked alongside him? I've noticed this a lot with difficult child 3. It also makes it easier to segue into him doing more on his own next time. I know if I had tried to get difficult child 3 to make pizza all by himself on Saturday, he would have noisily refused. But I worked with him and got him to get stuff together, to cut food up, to arrange it on the bread dough (which I rolled out for him) and together, but mostly him, those pizzas got made. He put them in the oven, he took them out of the oven. His reward was one huge pizza all to himself. He wouldn't have done it on his own mostly due to anxiety. My involvement, even on the edge, reduced his anxiety. The outcome was - he did it, heenjoyed doing it, he got a good reward from doing it, so he is more likely to do it himself next time, or at least do more of it himself ext time. He's 15, it shouldn't still be an issue. But it is, because his age (due to his autism) is simply not relevant. He'll get there one day. Maybe when he's 30! Marg [/QUOTE]
