[QUOTE="Shari, post: 216727, member: 1848"] Wee difficult child does this, too. Drives me BATTY. Evenings make me the craziest, so that's the time frame we focus on, and are doing it by trying to teach him delayed gratification, of sorts. We make it a point, when he's holding it together, to not immediately respond/react to his requests (he asks for milk, we say "I have to finish washing this dish first" anything to delay it), then praise him immensely if he holds it together during the delay. Some days it seems to work, other days, it doesn't. All days, it *****. Even difficult child 1 was WAY more independant at this age. [/QUOTE]
