[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have any answers, but our family therapist has been insistent with my ASD child that the phrase is: "Work before play, and play before screens".

Play can be a sport, reading for pleasure, playing with the dog/pets, a game, whatever. But screens are not considered "Play" in our house because they're so addictive.[/quote]

This is what I tried. And the screens portion was still getting a huge chunk. Because one kid especially will go really fast, doesn’t get sent homework in 3rd grade. Totally has a good attitude about doing the 4 things, but rushes and then moves quickly onto screens….

Anyway, TO EVERYONE, I’ve read all the comments. They are all extremely appreciated. I’m taking them all in.

I just want someone to tell me a list of easy rules to tell the kids. Help me manage a variety of days and times and arrivals home. (It’s not even the same schedule everyday.) I cant set one routine for how late the MSer gets home and a different one for the younger. It’s so much to keep track of while we’re cooking dinner. They’ll take advantage of the crazy and I can’t follow them around.

This was helping me just loosely be like “did you get your 4 things done?” Quick review… [/quote]
