[QUOTE="CynthiaE, post: 516153, member: 14191"] Thanks Llama, it's very hard, I feel very alone. Very very very alone. Nobody seems to understand the frustration and stress this is putting on me, not just her, and I know it's carrying over to her. I am hoping we are going to have a good day, I read some information about positive reinforcement. This morning she got herself up, showered, brushed her hair, and got herself dressed without assistance, as well as got her own bowl of cereal. Some mornings I have to fight to get her around, so this was wonderful. I gave her a hug, and well..one of the things I read was about praising a child in the correct manner One of them was pretend to be a head cheerleader I put an arm on her shoulder, gave a quick squench, and brought out my inner cheerful. We also talked about how she thinks I pick on her about her clothing choices. We are making a deal that as long as her clothing is clean/appropriate for school& weather that I will not comment on it. I told her that if we had a good day today at school (it's in the 80's here) That I will take her to the park after school. Is it okay to reward good days at school? It seemed to help yesterday to let her run off her energy. Am hopeful will be same today. --Lost [/QUOTE]
