[QUOTE="DDD, post: 470492, member: 35"] Reading your post I was wondering if this new change in scheduling is something that he knows about and has talked about with you. Yes, lol, I know you are the Mom and he is the kid. on the other hand he is an active bright little boy and any change in lifestyle (scheduling) is difficult on a youngster...particularly a difficult child. Just like "dinner time" "bath time" and "bedtime" a set schedule is really important. To a four year old the definition of "play time" is probably more important than the other parts of the day. One of the most difficult parts of parenting a difficult child for me was that it elminated spontaneous trips to visit or go to the store or whatever. Any deviation resulted in behavior changes with GFGmom in the 60's and did the same with difficult child#2 (her son) in the 90's. During the six years I was single it was really frustrating for me. I'm not suggesting that you are wrong to attempt improvements but due to his precosciousness he likely has to be very carefully transitioned. I understand how difficult it must be for you. So far as the cards...I, too, would have opted to share the task and probably added "Mommy will help you tonight and I know that you will help Mommy sometimes when she is tired or fussy, too."
