a direction to go in. it just seemed like we were fighting an uphill battle. her doctor only wanted to push some pills at her. we didn't want to medicate her for something if that wasn't what was going on. even if we thought that's what that was. When she was younger I would reward her if she had a good day at school. a half an hour of tv. it's harder now when she is in high school to give her that kind of reward. but I like how you managed it. and I like that you give the kids a break between tasks. every kid gets fidgety after awhile when they have to sit so long. thanks for the tips.
