Younger Boy doesn't follow directions...EVER. I have heard that you should ask a child to do things once and then expect them to do it. I have tried that. If that is the case Younger Boy would not eat, do homework, shower, or go to bed.
I have started timing how long it takes to follow a direction. He admits to Therapist J that he doesn't follow directions and he isn't trying. Therapist J explained last week that not following directions is disrespectful and purposely not trying to follow them is also disrespectful and that he is constantly choosing that.
It isn't like I am even asking him to do what the average 11 year old person has to help out with. He is spoiled...we have a cleaning person and a laundry person. He honestly doesn't have to do much around the house.
I would welcome any sort of suggestions to get him to follow any kind of directions.
Pray for me to have wisdom.
