[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 544281, member: 11791"] I find that difficult children are like the "rest of the world". Want to get things done? Want cooperation? Dangle a WIIFM. You get far better response. What is a WIIFM? W.I.I.F.M.? WII4M? (I've seen all three...) What's In It For Me. It doesn't ALWAYS work, and especially not when difficult children are being extremely GFGish. But... my difficult child wants food NOW. SO... Go set the table... "so we can have supper". WIIFM = supper = more cooperation. I don't ask difficult child to do non-WIIFM tasks. If I can't find a WIIFM for him, I go find somebody for whom it is possible to create a WIIFM. [/QUOTE]
