[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 6947, member: 1514"] I am wondering how to broach the subject as gently as possible because I dont want to scare them into not getting her tested. Right now I think they only suspect "hyper". They tend to think everyone can be hyper like my son Jamie and take medications and be perfectly normal...then they think Cory is just crazy. Weeelll...I think they have met their match for Cory in their daughter. Today I tried the Super Nanny techniques to try to get the child to lay down for a nap. I literally stood at her door for an hour while she cried and kept trying to come out. Every time she did, I would point to her bed, Say BED, and turn her around and close the door. It was exhausting. One thing I do think the parents need to do that they are refusing to do so far is completely child proof the house. You simply cant have nicknack's out with kids like this. Its all well and good to teach normal kids not to touch pretties but kids like this dont learn normally. Its too much temptation. The mom actually was aghast when I told her that she couldnt put xmas presents under the tree until after the child went to bed on xmas eve this year or the child would rip them open. She was like...well what on earth am I going to do with them? I said hide them someplace...behind the couch, in your closet, in the trunk, at a friends...whatever...but you cant put them out. Its just too much temptation for her. She would spend all day every day saying no and trying to stop her from getting into the packages...not worth it. You have to Breanna proof her environment. Less No's to deal with. Heck I dont think I have ever stopped having a childproof house...lol. Anyways...Im thinking of talking to my therapist about our early intervention program to see if its any good. If it is...maybe I can convince her to make an appointment there along with her pediatrician. I do know we have a developmental evaluational center nearby. [/QUOTE]
