[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 602610"] The constant prompting is really tiring. Essentially, you are his executive function for his brain. Changing how you parent isn't going to stop his needing to be reminded constantly what he is supposed to do. If the counting works and isn't causing anger then that is great. What might work to wean him from you reminding him is to teach him to use a written/picture schedule. With the level of need you are describing though teaching him this could take awhile. My difficult child 2 is currently being taught this and it is taking a few years. Getting time for yourself helps with enduring the constant prompting. Oh, I really need to take my own advice on that. [/QUOTE]
