[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if you know he wont listen, change your tactic. Hes not the kid you can tell and order and hell comply. He's not there yet. So treat him like a distracted 4 year old. Say "lets go wash hands" and go wash hands with him. Same for a lot of things. Yes jts more time and work but he needs that right now so set him up for success and the praise for completing the action (even of under your immediate supervision). I have a pretty compliant 5 year old but sometimes she doesn't want to listen or is distracted and there is no point getting angry or frustrated. Yes I know she can do it, but she cant in that moment so i help and praise. She is more likely to do it herself next time. [/quote] This is helpful, thanks. It is frustrating to treat him like a toddler![/quote]
