[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 457946, member: 1550"] I work at a preschool...some kids love to help clean, most do as little as they can...they are NOT mostly difficult children and the teacher aides have to urge them along. I would put that way down on my list about what I cared about if I had a young child with some childhood disorder who is unable to focus for long or hold in his/her frustration. Some kids, like you said, without toys get into non-toys and take them apart etc. and then they're in trouble again. To the best of my ability, with my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son, I tried to stay in the positive. He had a compulsion to take things apart, which was caused by the autism, and I didn't always want to be yelling at him. What you can do, to be proactively positive, is keep all of your son's toys and have his ask for each toy as he wants it. One at a time is enough. When he is finished, he can bring it to you, put it away, and then ask for another toy. That way he isn't always failing and you aren't always angry at him and the house can stay clean. Keep us posted on how it goes :) We do care. [/QUOTE]
