[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 520910, member: 1233"] I like the idea of the chart. You also might try having a shelf that is just yours and one that is just his. Or a drawer that is just yours that he can't go into and one that his his that he knows you won't get into. My mom made us pack our lunches starting in 3rd grade or maybe 2nd. She would go buy a box of zingers or ho hos at the bread store and then put them in the freezer. They were for our lunches and we got one or two boxes per month, each. We put our names on them and as long as mom didn't find wrappers laying around, we could eat them as fast or slow as we wanted. But when they were gone, no more until the next payday. It might be a concept to start with Q on? I don't know if he will be able to handle it, but it might help him learn to pace himself? The chart is a great idea, esp as HIS project. You can make the veggie shapes out of felt and hang some felt on the fridge or door and it makes an easy felt board. As the room mom for Jess and thank you, I would go into the kdg class and have the kids make their own felt boards for storytelling. We used a file folder for each kid, then glued a piece of felt to each side of the inside of the folder. Then we cut shapes out of the felt for whatever story we were working on. For some things I would draw the pcture on felt before class and then ahve the kids cut them out. each kid ended up with a file folder felt board and a baggie of shapes for the story we read that day (after we made the boards we met every two weeks or so for storyboard time) and of the ones from past stories.

You could fasten some felt to the fridge for this, an/or the pantry door.

It is WONDERFUL that he is doing so well on the zyprexa!!!!!!! I really hope this is safe for him to take as it is helping him make safe and appropriate choices.
