[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some examples - 
1) Spacing out in the toilet - so instead of 5-7 mins - 30-45-60 mins if we don't constantly demand the door be opened - confessed that there are imaginary friends (only child)
2) Some OCD behavior
3) Every task one has to be follow and get it done - even something as simple as getting dressed.
4) Social Anxiety - nervousness even with family friends and cousins.
5) Crying easily, almost daily even at 8. 
6) Long time to fall asleep - we do calming techniques, prayers, reading, foot soak etc

Very intelligent and creative and self-aware and said at school I'd be too embarrassed to act like this. Mature in a lot of ways but childish socially
We've tried charts for reward, punishment - maybe works 1-2 days. We have lists, white boards, time timer, smart watch. One of us is always around to guide.

Have you tried PCIT? You might be inadvertently reinforcing the behaviors with parental attention.

Sounds like something your child might grow out of as their brain develops. Some of this is normal-ish, especially given COVID (e.g. social anxiety).[/quote]
