[QUOTE="Andy, post: 210640, member: 5096"] I like what JJJ said about increasing pressure after we increase coping skills. Maybe that is the key for difficult child's. We need to be assured they have coping skills. Many times that is what we are helping them build. They need to be able to cope before they can have challenges given to do on their own. I believe that we need to walk our difficult child's through as much as possible every single detail of a situation. There are opportunities for learning if even in a tiny detail of a large process. It gets very wearing at times as we don't often see progress on their part. At what point do we determine that they just are not going to understand this particular situation and just do it ourselves. Then, do we reintroduce the challenge at a later date when they are older? Coping skills is the first tool needed for independent living. It is also one of the most difficult to "teach". Before giving the child any type of a challenge, we need to assess the level of coping skills needed to complete the challenge. [/QUOTE]
