[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 228925, member: 6546"] Hello KLMNO-- My difficult child is the same age as yours...(although the diagnosis(es) are different)...and we were starting to experience a few troubles over bed and wake times. In our household, there is more emphasis on getting up on time than on bed time. We put it that 9pm is your bed time...if you stay up in bed reading (no TV or video games or anything) that's OK...but you absolutely must be up at 7am...if you are not up on time there will be consequences. Well, one morning difficult child did NOT get up at the appointed time for school...and so my husband simply walked into her bedroom and doused her with ice water. I was terrified! I was so sure that his action was going to result in a horrible, violent temper-tantrum. But instead, the ice water consequence fit difficult child's logic perfectly...it seemed to make total sense to her! I am not sure if such a thing would work on your son (and personally, I would be scared to do it!)....hopefully you can find the right "button" to motivate him. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
