[QUOTE="totoro, post: 120910, member: 3155"] This is so interesting... I am sure not so for you Heather!!! But k is so very much like this. But a 6 yo. She does seem to do a lot of the build up prior to even beginning a task, getting it in her head that she is dumb, she can't, it is too hard, or what ever is going on in her little mind at the moment. But then if we can catch her on a good moment or day, WOW! She is amazing, while these moments are few and far between. It is truly awesome to see, because she is excited by the fact that she "gets" it and that she can do it. Know what I mean?? So you know these kids are smart and that they have the ability to do it. But K does the same thing, the frustration, the breakdowns, the drama... and it will be over drawing a picture of what she thinks a dinosaur looked like from a story! Or 10 math problems. Something that should not be so stressful, and I am not forcing her to do it, we are working on it, I am sitting with her. "I CAN"T" I have been thinking about you and Wynter... Incentive is such a hard one for K, the contract, she just wrote up a little list of chores, her idea! For some allowance. She tried 1 day... could care less now. Charts, incentive, all of that has never worked for us... once in awhile a bribe will. It has to be in your face right now! Other wise out of site out of mind.... I have started to just walk away also, and sometimes she will sit and then start doing it by herself, sometimes. [/QUOTE]
