[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 87001, member: 1233"] These are typical triggers. Here, there are logical consequences for things. Jess is to clean the kitchen. Her job. I help with pots, etc when I can. husband will load and run the dishwasher at night. She is supposed to unload it and load what will fit duringthe day. And wash anything that won't go in. Right now she has a free pass because her arm is a mess. She is in a sling and on pain medications. So we are doing dishes. As she gets better she will be shown a clean kitchen. Anything not done is to be done before she gets dinner. Period. We don't withhold food, she just has to do her chores or she has no clean dish to eat on. With difficult child this would not work. But she seems to "get it" and after a day or so she complies. thank you melts down a lot if he is overwhelmed with noise or other sensory things. I have to break his chores into little bits. It also helps that after school he gets 30 minutes of reading or homework (2nd grade, so only 30 mins) after he has 30 mins for snack, TV, gamecube or whatever. He sets the timer for each 30 mins and is really good at following it. Sometimes, if school has been really hard for him, I add 30 mins of sensory stuff (whatever he seems to need - running, cuddling, whatever) starting with brushing. I do find that ALL my kids are calmer with brushing. Jess and difficult child do not have Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) as a diagnosis, but respond well to brushing. As for thank you, he has a teacher who makes them sit on the wall at school if they are too wiggly in class. She makes no sense to me, and we will be chatting at parent teacher conference because this just isn't working. We may switch classes if she doesn't improve. She has been teaching a long time, and is using methods that just are not working. She is good at some things, but needs some continueing ed. I find the 'slave" comment gets "Yes, you are. Does that make you feel better?" and, "My mother only had me to spcakle the low spots and wash the baseboards." I jsut leave it at that. Susie [/QUOTE]
