[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 572621"] You did AWESOME! That is exactly what we have to do with difficult child 1. It has eliminated a LOT of meltdowns. You'll have to explain the why to easy child so he's learning as well. I hope it works out as well as it does in our house. Absolutely keep a parent report with the past situations and this one with the "results" listed. Make sure it's clear if it is the "vague" language that is causing the problems for the most part. Also keep this in mind in ALL aspects of dealing with difficult child. In our house, the other big thing was not expecting a sudden compliance to requests. That means that I can't tell difficult child 1 to do something without some warning and a countdown. I have to either say a specific time or phrases like "at the next commercial you need to ____" or "when you're done with this level on your game I need you to" and then watch for that marker to remind him. That was the other huge change I had to make. GOOD JOB Mom! [/QUOTE]
