[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 166953, member: 1722"] First, could her medications be adding to this problem? Also, I would "layer-in" her choices slowly, adding more each week. Ex: Week 1: What for breakfast... eggs or pancakes? Week 2: What to wear... shorts or skirt? ***And*** What for breakfast? Week 3: Which bedtime story... Junie b. Jones or Magic Treehouse? ***And*** What for breakfast? ***And*** What to wear? I'd cut down on the number of choices right now as she seems so thoroughly overwhelmed. She probably needs some simple successes to build on. [/QUOTE]
