Sherry, While I understand your desire to see your grandchild, I think that a month away from home for a three year old is much too long...for both the mom and the child. How about a week instead? Sounds like some compromise is needed here.-Susie

My stepdaughter in her mid 30's, has a 3 yr old girl (our grandbaby). They live in AZ, we moved to VA mid-yr, 2008. My daughter has claimed to have several disabilities such as agoraphobia, anxiety attacks, etc. I, Grandma want to fly to AZ and pick up my Grandbaby and come back to VA for a month. Recently we are having resistance, my daughter said a therapist has said it would NOT be a good idea, due to seperation anxiety. I believe the anxiety will be my daughters, not the baby. We explained it will depend on how my daughter presents the trip to her, whether or not it's a good or bad experience. Please render your opinion.

Noelle, Sounds like you are doing everything right, but you just haven't found the switch that will get your son moving. I'd like to hear from other readers who have experienced this same problem. In the meantime, you may have to bodily get him ready and keep removing those privileges at the same time until he gets tired of never getting to do any of his favorite activities!-Susie

I am having difficulty moivating my 5yo kindergartner to get ready in the morning. He has proven that he is able to get himself ready but chooses to sit and talk to himself and play (not with toys-he is perfectly entertained with his feet and clothes. I begin with a reward for he and his sister if they are ready on time. If not ready then I set the timer and a privilege is taken...then the timer is set for another short period and another privilege is taken if he is still not ready. Today he lost every privilege he has and still did not get ready. I am very consistent and carry through when consequences are earned. He cries and hates the consequences but apparently he does not dislike it enough to comply. I am at my wits end. Do I physically do it all for him and drag him to school screaming or am I missing something?

I'm not sure what you mean by the word "studying". What would she be studying at 4 years old? Also, did you mean "listening"? Can you be a little clearer about what you want her to do? Thanks! Susie
