[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 551850, member: 6546"] This was my whole point about talking to difficult children about what they *should* be doing. I think sometimes our difficult children get "stuck"...and unlike their peers - they lack forward vision and motivation to change. And it's way too easy for them to get stuck in a rut. I think that Dash needs to start pointing out to her difficult child that a job allows her the *freedom* to choose her life. She gets to decide where and how she lives. She gets to decide what kind of phone she wants, what kind of car she drives, etc. She won't have to wait on other people to do things for her. I also think that Dash really needs to connect the dots for her difficult child. Even though it seems obvious to the rest of us - I'm betting her difficult child hasn't figured out the big picture.
