[QUOTE="SRL, post: 6705, member: 701"] Sigh...been there, done that on all of these kinds of issues. Those were some long years until we got over the hurdle and difficult child became flexible and rational. I know it is her determined behaviors that have brought you here--that's the same with all of us. But it's critical that you look beyond her wanting to be in control. Usually if you look beyond "stubborness" to other behaviors you will find clues as to what's going on. I know that's really hard to do because it's the difficultness that makes life so hard for parents and siblings. Does she have any unusual interests or obsessions? Something for you to try some morning soon to see if it helps any: Make some kind of simple schedule for the morning routine. Use simple pictures (or words if she's reading) in a list. There are some kids that will do much better if they know exactly what to expect and so situations like letting the dog out don't upset the apple cart. Wake up Eat breakfast brush teeth get dressed get packed for school get on bus [/QUOTE]
