Mom and I noticed something interesting about Maverick the other day. Today Cherish and I went shopping in Terre Haute and I decided to test it out. So on the way we stopped at a gas station and I bought him a can of Coke. Actually, I gave him a dollar and he got to buy it all by himself. I gave it to him in his cup in small "doses" and his behavior improved SO much! Even Cherish noticed how much better he was listening and obeying. I don't really know WHY it works..but it does. He seems to be able to focus better and think about what he is doing. He listened the first time I asked him to do something. And stopped immediately when I asked him to. He didn't have any screaming melt downs and even walked in the mall and stayed right with me. It was like he was a different kid! It was a wonderful day!!
Granted, I can't and won't give him Coke every day...but for days where we have to go to the grocery store or do something like that, it seems to make a big difference.
