There are some really cool idea on this website.<br /><br />We have considered getting P a weighted vest and possibly a weighted blanket for bedtime. We keep waffling on whether or not it would work. Have you had great success with them?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994549194965781369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845484048687696963.post-83382422428024179132012-05-06T14:39:48.884-04:002012-05-06T14:39:48.884-04:00One of the things that you're lucky about is t...One of the things that you're lucky about is that your kids can do delayed gratification. For a lot of people that have sensory and communication issues, physical exertion has always been a great tool to use. I've noticed that you tend to get better eye contact (even though I don't push so hard for that for other reasons), better responses, and the kids get to exert their tensions/anxieties. If you think about it, most adults do this anyway by going to the gym, running, taking walks, or going crazy over doing household chores. Princess sounds like she could use a weighted vest or blanket and other tactile stuff. Have you thought about getting moon shoes for her? Those things could be another motivational route to take. Even yoga helps out with relaxation and calming techniques. A good place to go to look for ideas for things to copy/make on your own (the stuff is too expensive!) is www.abilitations.com; if you need other resources let me know.Dancyhttp://www.facebook.com/dancy.matthisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845484048687696963.post-6275586290658842932012-03-09T11:32:06.233-05:002012-03-09T11:32:06.233-05:00wow, sis! you're a published author now- sort ...wow, sis! you're a published author now- sort of. thanks to your mac approach to discipline, i now use peanut butter to keep my man in line- thanks for the tip! hahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845484048687696963.post-34340688323186256592012-03-09T09:56:25.890-05:002012-03-09T09:56:25.890-05:00Dr. Phil said everyone has his/her currency.

We have also resorted to "bribery"...NICE! We have also resorted to "bribery". It's frustrating to have someone tell you that you should "pop your childs butt" for bad behavior. If it were only that easy. My boy is only mildly on the spectrum, but this is plenty enough to make disipline a never-ending battle in our home. Time out has NEVER worked...Spanking is a no-go! Honestly, I am not one of those parents that believes that spanking is wrong, but I KNOW with D, it IS wrong. I have tried rewards too and every now and then, they work...at least a couple of times anyway. ;) Thanks for sharing!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090834079248337036noreply@blogger.com
