Number one be consistent.  Demand that they are respectful, kind to others, tell the truth, and non-violent.  Put them in a time out chair when they do not listen or take away something that means a lot to them.  Don't letting something be all right one time and not all right the next.  Too many people confuse children this way. However, do not just focus on the negative.  Let your child know when he/she is doing well.  Children love compliments, and they love to make others proud.   If all else fails, call Super Nanny!

Put your three year old on your back and have him/her hold you around your neck. Then hold onto him/her and walk through the water with your child on your back in thigh deep to chest deep water. The resistance of the water is an excellent cardio workout. As well you can use a pfd on your kid and take him/her out to the deep end and glide him and her along with you. (you swim sideways and pull him/her along with one arm and going back you can alternate arms, so both get equal workouts) or you can just swim with your kid on your back. All of these are guaranteed to give you strong legs-really strong legs.

The above respondant has great ideans.\nBe at the child's eye level when giving directions or just talking with child.  Put away things that you would have to say "no " about.  Have great manipulative materials:  cool toys, of course--but also play doh, crayons, markers, finger paints. . . not all at once! but available.  Toys to stack like blocks.  Little kids need to be shown how to do it.  Sit on the floor and show them, play with them.  Not just blocks, anything.\n\nPut a sheet over a table and play tent , and take a flashlight in there!  Give them cups and empty bottles (plastic) and a colander (strainer) in the bathtub.  Put food coloring, just a few drops, in the bathwater.\nLet them help cook, measure; talk about what you're making. . . grow something, in a pot or in the yard. . . \ntake care of pets together; go on walks, and read read read.\nLimit tv and video games, and let whatever they watch be age appropriate. . . have fun. think about what's fun and do it with them.  Dance crazy, sleep in the backyard together, buy a sandbox, or put some sand in a little rubbermaid container and play with in on the front porch. Answer questions when your kids ask, about rainbows or God or where babies come from. . . remember what it felt like to be a child. . .

http://www.autismtoilettraining.com \nI have not looked at the site myself, but it came up on an ad for something else I was looking at, hopefully it will help! I had my autistic son completely out of diapers by the time he was 27 months old, but your situation is more normal with autism. It just happened that Tim was oversensitive to sensory input, so he HATED wearing wet underwear. I don't know how much of this will apply to you, but I'll tell you what I did anyway. Everyone on here that said to be really consistent with a reward system is right on target, that's about the only way to get through an autistic brain, and the sillier you are, the better! Find a treat that he really likes and by a bag, and only use it for potty training, no other time. Skittles was what we used. He got three skittles for sitting on the toilet and I spaced them out so that he was sitting for about five minutes. NO pullups or diapers during the day at home, only underwear, and I ran water in the sink while he was sitting. If he actually did something, he got another skittle, and we made a huge deal out of it! Then, he got one sticker put on a chart for sitting and one for going. If he doesn't go,then he still gets SOMETHING just for cooperating with you. I took him as soon as he woke up and every hour after that, and I asked him all through the day if he had to go. That's all you can really do, unless the link I sent you to has other ideas. Hope this helps! I do my own therapy with him, he's never seen a professional, and he is doing WONDERFULLY. I will be homeschooling him, and we're officially starting pre-school next month. We spent last year just working out behavior problems so that we could focus on academics this year. Contact me if you just need to vent!

Make your son/daughter swallow/eat a big spoon of gelatin.\nThen make a cube of gelatin (approx. a small nut size) and put the capsule inside it.\nAs a matter of fact, you should let your son/daugher to put it inside the cube, just to let him/her participate of the trick. \nAsk him/her to swallow it. At this point he/she'll know that he/she is able to swallow medium-size bits, like the gelatin cube is.

I have been teaching young children for twenty years.  We use a variety of behavior management techniques.  Here are a few:\n\nProximity Control:  This is the easiest behavior management strategy, and it works much of the time.  Proximity Control means putting yourself where the action is.  Sit on the floor or at a table with the children.  Play with them or involve them in conversations.  Often just having a teacher nearby prevents problems before they even start.  \n\nModeling:   Children learn from watching us so always think about what you are doing in the classroom.  If you want children to lower their voices, then make sure you’re not yelling.  If you want children to be polite to one another, you also need to be polite.\n\nDistraction:  Sometimes you can head off an inappropriate behavior before it gets out of control, by offering an alternate activity.  This is especially effective with younger children.  \n\nRedirection:  Similar to Distraction, Redirection works by taking the emphasis off the inappropriate behavior and replacing it with a positive behavior.  The difference is that Redirection involves actually moving the child to another area of the room.  For example if two children are arguing about who can build on the block rug, you could help one child find an alternate space to build.\n\nLimited Choices:  If a child is having a difficult time controlling his or her own behavior, we can help by giving more structured choices.  This is especially helpful if a child seems to be overly excited or stimulated by the activity in the classroom.  Make sure the child always has at least three choices to pick from.  (For example, “I’m going to help you calm down a little.  Right now, you can choose to draw, read books or paint at the easel.”\n\nTime Alone:  Sometimes a child has an extreme amount of difficulty controlling his or her behavior and it is necessary to remove the child from other people for a short time.  This is usually only done when there is the threat of danger to the child, another person or equipment.  If you need to remove a child for a short time, find a place where he or she can be alone (within view of a teacher) and give the child something to do. We never use “time-outs” as a punishment.  Our Time Alone is a way for the child to calm down and regain control.  We should not have a child sit alone for more than 3-5 minutes for this age group.\n\n\nLogical Consequences:  Sometimes it is appropriate to give a consequence for a negative behavior.  If you chose to use a consequence as a behavior management technique, there are two things to remember:\n\n1. The consequence always needs to be logical.  This means that it has to make sense to the child.  If a child knocks down a friend’s block tower, it makes sense that he or she helps to rebuild the tower.  It does not make sense for that child to miss gym time later in the day. \n\n2. The consequence should take place as soon as possible after the behavior.  Even our oldest children can’t always remember what they did two or three hours ago.\n\nFamily Support:  We talk to children’s families about their behaviors on a regular basis.  This isn’t so that we can “tattle” to the parents about what happened during the day.  Rather, it is important that the children understand there is a link between school and home, and that the family and teachers are a team.\n\nHope this helps!  Good luck at your interview.

One letter at a time until she gets it down...\n\nwrite the first letter about 10 times in a row, let her watch you write it and tell her the letter each time.  Then let her trace it.  Then 10 more times write the letter but not full use little dots, let her trace it.  Then once she gets tracing it and saying the letter, let her write it herself about 20 times.  If she gets it down move to the next letter.  Same process until all letters are completely learned.  Then try putting two letters together with the same process and add more as she progresses until the entire name is learned.  Don't burn her out in one sitting though as she may become frustrated and give up, or to much info at one time and she may forget.  \n\nThat is how I taught my son.  Hope it works for you!  Good Luck!

when you start to curve, loop or do other things to lines people tend to cut in line.  I have been in a non straight line or two and you have to be vigilant for someone trying to get over\nAlso conditioning.  In kindergarten one of the first things they teach you is to line up in a straight line like there is no other way

The 'come hither' motion with your finger in a gentle way works. Gentleness is important. You don't want to damage him. Gloves aren't necessary but do wash your hands afterward.

honestly, I think your best bet is to practice - a lot. Set up a time for a regular practice - and show them the proper basics. Show them the proper form for digging - footwork and placement, bending at the knees, not swinging the arms so much.\n\nPlay pepper with them, help them get better.\n\nIf they're not willing to practice, not willing to take the time to get better - then you might want to think about cutting them. But, if it comes to that - explain to them what your problems are - why you're wanting them to get better - and see how they react.\n\nGood luck to you!

Here are a couple that I do.  I sit on the floor legs out together in front of me,then have the foot flexed and reach over your legs to your feet....do the same but have foot pointed. She can just flex and point her feet too.    This other one you need to have something to hold onto.  Stand up and flex one foot and lift the leg to the side about 4 times,then do for the other leg.  After that kick the leg behind you.  This one can have the foot pointed too.      I experience tightness in my legs and these exercises help me.

You hold the baby so his back is facing up and he is laying down your forarm, your hand on his collarbone. Use your other hand to pat in an upward motion on his back.\n Pat him about 5 or 6 times then sweep your fingers through his mouth to get anything out, make sure to sweep as far in as you can without choking him or hurting him.\n Continue until the object is out, if your arm gets tired (which believe me it will), switch arms.

I am a teacher and lots of times parents freak out about this sort of thing. The best thing you can do for your child is teach him/her to grip....scissors, paint brushes, pencils and all sorts of writing tools. If you want your child to write a name or soemthing else for family cards all you need to do is write with a yellow crayon and have your child trace over your letters. \nDon't push it always make it fun or you will turn your child off to writing and reading. Also fun to write in shaving cream, pudding, whipped cream, ketchup, etc.
