[quote=Anonymous]1, 2, 3 Magic did wonders for my highly social anxious DS at that age and a bit before. He was doing all the things you are describing. I had to realize that I was at fault for being a Gestapo officer and not a mom who understood her kids and their needs too. So, when in the middle of the show, I started to say, when this show is over we are going to grocery store. Then five minutes before the end of this show, I would say, now remember when this is over, we will brush teeth, put shoes on and go to the car to do our shopping. I realized that I would throw a fit too if someone ordered me to get ready now, get the shoes now, get out now! With anxiety kids negative reinforcement and ordering them does not work. I was essentially creating the whole tantrum and the fit with being inconsiderate and not explaining what we were doing. At 5, that is not going to work as it might at 1.[/quote]
