Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Maybe someone could help clue me in.My 8 yr old (going on 18) cfer is an absolute pistol when it comes to doing his therapy, ESPECIALLY his vest.He was dx at 3, got his vest maybe a yr later and its been *@% & to pay ever since!Every nite, same thing, he cries for lack of a better term, a stuck pig(lol), and its " pack your bags cuz your going on the this is so " terrible " guilt trip.I DO NOT give into his demands.I have heard how he hates me, thinks I'm the meanest mom EVER, (etc) yet he must do the vest regardless.Once in a while, Before his tantrums, I may bargain(much like the with the devil) and allow him to do something special like spend the nite w/gramma and do a double vest the next day, but for the most part, when its time to do it, there's no wheelin' and dealin'.Yet, all these years later, much to my dismay, its like pulling teeth to get him to cooperate at all let alone gracefully.I have tried positive reinforcement, incentives, threats, showing him up on tantrums and things of the like and all attempts have failed.PLZ, can anyone help bring a little sanity to this situation?I'm at a loss!
