[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 42309, member: 393"] Just out of curiosity - is your difficult child functioning at age level? If you're looking at a child who is 11 y/o physically but is functioning at the level of a 7 year old you may need to lower your expectations a bit. Having said that, we have a lot more success with kt because we have recognized her developmental/functioning age. (More around 4 or 5 years of age) Our expectations therefore are of a 5 year old, however we gently nudge daily. Sometimes we see very age appropriate choices & behaviors; other days we have a toddler on our hands. Either way - this is kt & we are flexible. The same can be said for wm. husband & I have taken a long time to realize that the tweedles are most likely never going to be able to "function" independently - will always need help. Our goal is to see that they reach the highest level they can reach. Something to consider. [/QUOTE]
