First, I don't think the Punishment vs Rewards thing is exclusive to ADHD kids. Kids in general just respond to different kinds of stimulus. Second, and this might be the offensive part, but I think it is funnier than heck. My grandson, who is four, loves Phineas and Ferb. The funny part is that he can't say it right, so he calls it "Penis and Perv". I can erase that if you want me to. Just let me know. Maybe you will smile about it though.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889177441341958458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776516892131194340.post-21333682944729075282012-07-21T21:45:34.267-07:002012-07-21T21:45:34.267-07:00That is such a good idea!! I really hope it works ...That is such a good idea!! I really hope it works with Sadie and Dylan. Bedtime is such a hard thing for most parents I think. <br /><br />I hope you don't mind if I give you a suggestion. Instead of letting Dylan play the iPad right up until it's bedtime have him stop 15 minutes before and give him a bedtime snack or let him read in his bed for those 15 min. When we would visit my grandparents we would always have a bedtime snack and we looked forward to bedtime. It helped us so maybe it would help Dyl and Sades? My kids like to read before bed to and it helps them wind down after a busy day. Everyone doing something together and sitting quietly is good, if it can happen:) Tini often runs around and plays the whole time but you do what you can do:) Love you!! Great idea kar!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776516892131194340.post-24695252570195320352012-07-21T21:41:10.096-07:002012-07-21T21:41:10.096-07:00Heya lady... I TOTALLY GET THE BEDTIME THING!!!!
...Heya lady... I TOTALLY GET THE BEDTIME THING!!!! <br /><br />That being said, my MIL had a suggestion (mainly for Missy because she seams to suffer with insomnia) that I get the kids up early-sh (school starts the end of August anyways) and have them eat breakfast outside in the sunshine. <br /><br />I know I have read studies about being able to adjust sleep times with lights. For instance, if someone gets a lot of artificial light at night it makes it harder to sleep because their body says "DUDE!!!! THE SUN IS UP!". <br /><br />I think I'm going to try this... I will let you know how it works.<br /><br />PS Goober earns Youtube videos (which I love, cause it's FREE!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620999018026605884noreply@blogger.com
