[QUOTE="bramblewoodbabydoll, post: 306240, member: 7938"] For my 11yo, Sprite, we have a routine that the therapist helped us work out. I bring her one of those short cans of coke (her father let her have as much junk food as she wanted and shes practically addicted to carbs and sodas) but anyway its used as a carrot I come in and dangle in front of her. She wakes enough to take a sip and realize the difference between the sleeping and waking world. Then I give her a couple minutes, talk to her calmly about pleasant things to keep her with me (in the waking world). I leave and go fix a breakfast with protein in it that she likes even if its a sausage biscuit that I microwaved lol. I tell her if she moves from the bed to her favorite chair in the living room she can eat in there. I only need to prod just a bit and she comes on. Sits in the chair. I turn on VH1 cause she loves music ... if she is really in a bad mood I turn the news on because undoubtedly something will be on there that shocks/interests her and she suddenly starts talking to me about it! It seems to jolt her and she forgets to be angry at me! :winking: This has become pretty fun even if it is babying her its better than the raging hurricane that explodes otherwise. I wish someone would wake me this way hehe. [/QUOTE]
