[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 336121, member: 1991"] A couple of concerns here. First, others have already addressed this, you have picked a lot of stuff under one heading. You are right to break it down. Seriously - just one of those things is a big issue. I don't know why, these kids have a lot of trouble in some of these areas. Be careful tat you haven't picked something that for various reasons he may have a lot more trouble learning. Sometimes the problem has a deeper cause which needs to be identified and treated. For example, attention/distractibility problems, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) issues. The bedwetting could be Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), or it could be linked so some other area of brain development. You have to be careful to pick a problem that is thoroughly within his control. Second - don't give it a time frame. I doubt you can fix it in a week. But you may make good progress in a week. Certainly it's worth observing his progress (or not) with trying to work on this, to see how much progress you can make. But do read Explosive Child first, or at least some explanation of it, before you try. You need to also try to involve him a lot more in what you're trying to do, maybe ask him what he thinks he could try to work on, with your help. He's old enough to begin to take responsiblity here for his own personal development. Explosive Child also talks about this sort of planning ahead of time, as part of the plan. Your ultimate aim is for your child to eventually be independent, happy, productive. Our kids need a different path to get there, it often takes longer, but they can get there. Marg [/QUOTE]
