[QUOTE="Dixies_fire, post: 594661, member: 16184"] I don't mean to come off harsh and as I said its just my opinion. God knows there's minimal success in my house. I probably shouldn't say that, but it's the way I'm feeling today. I don't think making kids earn things is treating them like a spoiled brat. My boyo doesn't get things unless he's been good either. Everyone's kids are different, and while tk doesn't have a diagnosis the ones they are "looking at" in her evaluation are similar. And the behavior in girls/boys is different. I thought I read that your husband went with you which is why I made the doctor comment about why he wasn't just forced to go. husband could sit with him in the back while you drove. So like I said sorry if that came out wrong. Anyway, IC- I resisted giving tk electronics for a long time but finally relented this year. She got a tablet for Christmas, it's broken the charging piece and she isn't getting another one not because of her behavior but because we can't afford it. She uses YouTube for crafts and kids music there's a restricted program that manages it. But all that stuff has to go in my bedroom at night it's just a rule not punishment. My 3 year old has an app on my iPod for numbers colors and letters not because we don't do them together but because he seems to have trouble saying them with me but likes to get the answer right for the game. We seriously thought he was color blind for awhile. So we do both for an hour a day. I'd rather my kid figure out how to deal with people because that seems to be her issue but its stressful for her and I don't think giving her an hour or two a day which doesn't come with the stress of dealing with me or other kids is bad. Every kid is different. [/QUOTE]
