[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 86502, member: 393"] Stressed, I wonder what your alternative is? Your difficult child may not have the ability to process the chores you are asking him to do at this time. It may be a while before he can do this. My tweedles are 13 & they still struggle with some of the simplest of tasks. It is written out step by step. They have help & they still struggle to stay on task - to complete any chore, school assignment or even fun things like a game. I'm convinced it's not hard wired - that something in their brains is just not clicking. It doesn't bode well as they get older - but it is what it is. However, I know there are certain things that kt & wm can do & do well. Those are the things I ask kt to work on - I slip in some of the other harder tasks as well. But I give her some chores & things that she can be successful at - to give her a sense of completion. A sense of confidence. So what is your alternative? Just something to consider this morning.
