[QUOTE="Mrs Smith, post: 67160, member: 3893"] I think Ross Greene is being misrepresented here. Basket A is for non-negotiable things that you are willing to endure a meltdown over, Basket B is for things you would like to see happen and which you are going to try negotiating to get and Basket C is for things you don't care about at the moment and will drop immediately. What things you put in each basket is completely personal and varies for each of us. He never said what specifically you had to put in which basket. He also said as your child becomes more stable, you add more things to Baskets A and B. It's a completely flexible system and can be individualized for each family. Obviously a clean room is not a Basket C item for you. It might be for Ross Greene or for someone else. For me, it would be a Basket B item and I would work to negotiate an equitable solution that meets my standards and my kids' abilities. She's testing you and senses your indecision on the matter. Figure out where you stand and stay the course. It's easier said than done but you'll figure out what works best for you and your kid. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
