[QUOTE="threebabygirls, post: 186547, member: 5670"] Terry, I love your idea of practice runs, but when difficult child has me all to herself, there are rarely problems. I cannot think of a single time when it was just she and me and she unbuckled in the car. Yesterday I actually did pull over the one time she unbuckled and sat on the shoulder of the highway for as long as I could (needed to get to the appointment.) and told her we weren't moving until she buckled up. She buckled up. Next time she unbuckles and we're within walking distance, we'll park the car and walk home. I like that idea. Dazedandconfused--yes, she's going into first grade. my difficult child is very powerful. I admire her strength, determination, and perseverity, as I know they will serve her well as an adult. However, they are not qualities I particularly care for in a child, especially my own! I try so hard to not show her my emotions (anger or sadness) but sometimes she gets the best of me. MwM--we don't have another evaluation lined up just yet. We're at the end of the long, drawn-out process of getting in-home behavior therapy, and then I'm going to ask for the neuropsychologist. As far as her decision making goes, I KNOW some of the time she's doing whatever she's doing deliberately simply from the look of pure joy on her face. Yes. Joy. Nothing pleases her more than making her sisters cry. [/QUOTE]
