In Reply to: I'm not sure how that could work... posted by LJ

Most of the defiance is directly related to getting out of some work or task she doesn't want to do, which is why I don't think timeouts will work. She gets out of the work, at least for a time period.

So, that's why I'm trying to make the visuals. She has to continue doing what she's supposed to do ALL DAY or she loses out. She has to do the assigned task/activity every time I assign something. (not school related, just used assigned as a catch-all word)

Help me work through this concept.

• But there can't be an 'or she loses out' - that's not minding you. She has to do it, or....do it! Does that make sense? m - Veronica 22:02 Jun 16 (0)

    • Yes, the out of the blue is part of it.. She has no concept of time. nt - LJ 20:01 Jun 16 (2)
      • I used the timer a lot when my kids acted like this. - KPM 20:53 Jun 16 (0)
      • A written daily schedule/ routine would be a very good idea then. You can use pictures as well as words if she's very visual. nt - abbeyej 20:05 Jun 16 (0)
• Defiance about work results in more work at my house. Lots of work! I make them too tired to talk back. nt - Daisy 19:45 Jun 16 (0)
