Transitions and Cooperation

Kimmie is not too good with transitions. Going back to school this past week after being off for three weeks was pretty bumpy.

By Thursday the word was that if her behavior improved, she would be taken grocery shopping on Thursday, but if not, the teachers would not take her shopping. I told Kimmie that I was putting Oreos and pudding on her shopping list, that she needed to be good so she could go shopping and buy her favorite foods. She had her best morning ever on Thursday! (Mornings not being her best time of day.) And she did get to go shopping. Shows you that she can pull herself together and cooperate when she WANTS to.

It all depends on the "want to." Kimmie's "want to" doesn't work too well!

Maybe tomorrow will be the start of a better week. We can always hope!
