[QUOTE="jal, post: 332451, member: 3477"] We had issues with-our son getting dressed in the morning too. Refusal, crying, slamming doors, etc. At the time he was around 5-6 yrs of age. We also had in home services 2x a week (around 6). They came up with-a great suggestion. They made play money with-his picture on it and told him if he could do the task of getting dressed, he could put one of his play dollars in the jar. At the end of the week if he got X amount he would get a treat. The treat was a trip to McDonald's, or rent a movie or video game - whatever we as the parents agreed to with-input from him. It didn't take long to catch on and then novelty wore off, but by then he got it. We haven't had in home for over 6 months and every day after breakfast this kid gets dressed, on his own no fail, no reward needed. It took maybe 2 months of that exercise to get him in a routine. Usually, he's up before me, I get up give him his breakfast and medications, which he does when I am in the shower (and he's 7.5) he's dressed by the time I am putting on my makeup. I don't know how ur old step daughter is, but if young enough, she may buy in to it. It was a godsend. [/QUOTE]
