Guest guest Posted January 12, 2000 Report Share Posted January 12, 2000 I am laughing because just yesterday at speech looked at the therapist and pulled out her aids, as if to say, oh yeah, I don't want to do and I'm not going to listen. Also I caught her putting her aids on our cat yesterday afternoon. I try to ignore any thing she does with her aids because if I make a big deal out of anything negative she will use it against me and I can't allow this to happen. She is just to smart and manipulative. But I did lose it a bit when she took them apart and hid the ear molds in the base board heater. I also tried to bribe her with candy but she would just keep taking them out and then ask for more candy. What really worked for is telling her that she can't do her favorite things without them. Like if she wants to watch TV or play on the computer or listen to music, all her favorite activities she has to wear her aids. It didn't take long for her to catch on but if she is sick and not getting much benefit from them then she won't wear them. Then I am sorry to say, the whole process stars over again.
