[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 411756, member: 6546"] I think there may have been a mis-understanding of what I meant when I used the word "fun".... Right now - the child's behaviors are putting a hold on certain activities. Mom is doing her best to be very consistent. Natural consequences seem to work when Mom can say 'If you don't put on your boots, you cannot play outside'....and the result is that the child puts on her boots. What happens when the boots need to go on so that the child can get to the dentist or the doctor? Will the child still put on the boots? or will the child feel that fooling around and NOT putting on the boots seems like a lot better alternative than going to the doctor? Perhaps that is what she is already doing at school? If she wants to avoid a certain activity because it's difficult, boring, noisy - whatever - the disruption seems like a better choice. [/QUOTE]
