ohh charlotte thats sounds a good idea we did the good behaviour coins but slightly different 10 coins and he earned a small gift / treat up to a set value we first did it to 5 coins as his intrest wasnt so good i might try the pasta thing as we havent done the coin thing in a while
27/9/08 15:55
Hi Vicky sorry to hear about Mark, and hope he gets work soon.
I more thing about the pasta you can not take the pasta away so say your child as had a bad day u can not say riht im taking so many pieces of pasta away as thats what they have earned, but if you want them to do a chore like put there toys away and they say no you can say right u will have to pay me xxx amount of pasta for you to do it so either way its getting done and both of u r winning as they are paying you the pasta to do it. I can honestly say though that as only happened 2 times with the kids that they pay me to do it for them as they would like to keep there pasta rather than lose it.
I got it from our ADHD coach its called 123Magic Also instead of counting to 10 to get them to stop something do it to 3 as the more u have the longer it will go on for where as with 3 its easier so you say right thats 1 and hold 1 finger up dont get in to a conversation with them it will just go round in circles if it continues say 2 and 2 fingers if it still caries on then when u get to 3 its time for time out but when they have done there time out forget about it and dont talk about it and just move on at 1st adam was being out on the step a few times but now we very rarely get there he normally stops when he gets to 2. Look up 123 magic im sure it will explain it better than me it is american but it does work and the sucess rate is good aswell. Hth.

Hi Rachael,
Just wanted to come on and say hope you have a brill holiday the kids will love it. Im jelouse of you lol I really want to be back on holiday lol. I already feel like I need another 1 lol. The kids have spent there money today that they have earned from the pasta they have been saving when they have a good day or do things on the chart before school I find it helps Adam espically to keep him in a routine so his charts tells him excately what he needs to do before school and if he gets it done he has a few pieces of pasta which = 1p per pasta it dont sound like a lot but it soon mounts up Adam and the others love putting pasta in there Jars. Adam as just managed to buy himself a new transformer and a ben 10 toy and as been playing with them really quiet since he got them.
What I am finding out though his new night time meds do take a while for them to kick in his others used to work in 30 mins these take roughly 1to 1/2 hrs to work so as to have them earlier.The doctor did give him a smaller dosage though this time as before he was having 6 now he his having 4 mg because she diddnt know what the dosage etc was like so will get her to up the dosage a bit doesnt help aswell as he got used to taking a certain 1 then they change it but it wasnt the doctors fault though they brought in a new kind of medication to replace the old 1 or something.
Im of bed now im really shattered. Have a lovelly time racheal carnt wait to hear what your holiday as been like .

Just wanted to post quickly, just reading up on the net and it is believed that Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill and Agatha Christie all had adhd, so there is more than hope for our kids lol xxxx
26/9/08 17:54
Aww poor Mason, kids are so bloody horrible sometimes grrrrrr, must be really horrible to see him upset like that, im sure il have to deal with it in the future, tbh, im dreading it. Hope he is okay.
Charlotte, have a lovely birthday meal, and you probably done better than you think, usually works like that.
Dont blame you for only buying kiddies stuff, it gets silly and megga expensive otherwise, if people get silly over it, thats their lookout hey.
Well have a fab weekend, I wont be back on now for a week or so, will catch up with you when I get back, take care. Rachael xx

Hi Ladies,
First of all congratulations Theresa for passing your exam. Racheal and Theresa hope your children calm down and you get a bit of support.
Sorry I havent been on much trying to get Adam back into routine since coming back from hoiliday and then having problems with my mum.I have also just started my maths and english course I did maths on Tuesday and I dreaded it and felt like people were looking and talking about me. But everything went great. And was told I may not have to start till next yr will see how my assessments marks come out on Tuesday.English todo diddnt go so well lol it was really boring I did my assessment Im not sure how well I didespically on spelling some words looked right and I thought they were right but again they could be wrong the tutor said he will mark it ready for next week and will go through things with me.
Why is it people dont really come to see you before you go away on holiday and then when you come back they all want to come and see you I know why it's because they were expecting presents. My sis even txted me to see if I brought her and her boyfriend something when I said no I only got the little kiddies something she went a little mardy.I told them before we went away though I wasnt buying presents.
Dh is taking me out tomarrow night for a late birthday treat dont know where he his taking me though.
Charlotte
