[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Look, I don’t want a 2 hour morning routine either. But this is how we do it because she is slow with everything and resists it. If we give her shorter amount of time things won’t get done. We give extra time for everything so she can get it done with our help and we have time to work around her resistance and distractability. We are with her every step
Of the routine.

If we don’t give her 10 minutes to poop she won’t poop at school and stool holds. Then is in a foul mood and will tantrum after school and won’t eat until she has a BM but at this point we have to give Miralax because she’s constipated.

If we give her a bar or tiny breakfast in the car it won’t get eaten and she won’t eat or drink all day and will melt down the moment she’s out of school.

Trying to incentivize doesn’t work. The incentive is always expected and she does not connect her behavior to the outcome of the incentive

Trying to create urgency doesn’t work, stresses her out, and causes her to flip out and get stressed out and scream at us.

Forcing doesn’t work because she fights us or just tries to
Make it go more slowly. Refusing to stop moving for getting hair brushed, fighting me getting her pajamas off.

No matter what we do we run up against her behavior issues. Even her therapist has said she’s kind of at a loss.
