S.I. and meds again

[Guest guest]

That sounds encouraging. I'll see how ERP works without it, but add bribery

when or if needed.

Re: S.I. and meds again

FWIW, we've recently had a success with bribery with my son, Ian (10) and

his SID issues around his socks and shoes. In the last 6 months, he's

outgrown his seamless socks and switched to tie shoes from the Velcro ones

he'd worked with in erp therapy so we were back to mornings in hell. My

husband, who usually stays out of these issues, offered him $20 if he could

manage his own shoes and socks without complaint or assistance for a week.

To my amazement, it worked! We had tried money incentives in the past as

part of erp therapy with no luck. I'm guessing it worked this time because

the offer came from Dad. I'm hoping this success will motivate both of

them!

My heartfelt sympathy and best wishes go out to you, I am so familiar with

your battles!

S.I. and meds again

Well then, I sure won't spend the time and money on the OT version of

therapy. I'm wondering whether bribery and/or ERP might be effective.

I

guess I will try them both.
