[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 320114, member: 1991"] difficult child 3 loves things that drop, roll or whatever. Coin-sorting money boxes were his favourite as a bay. At the moment he likes to build complex "roller-coaster-style" ball races. I'd need to think about it, but I remember when he had his first hearing test (at 2 years old) he was very uncooperative, util they produced one of these marble-rolling boxes and told him to drop a marble into the box when he heard a sound in the headphones. They practiced it until he got the idea, then you could see the concentration on his face as he tried to get it right. A variation on this could be - once a task is complete, the child asks the parent for a marble to drop in the box. Marbles are given out moderately freely but only when the next small step is accomplished This oculd be used for complex tasks that have been broken down to a great many much smaller steps. All ideas like this can help; the more ideas you have under your belt, the easier it is to find something that will motivate YOUR child. Marg [/QUOTE]
