I am sort of the local person who tutors :o) We are in a fairly rural area, so most activities, lessons, etc, require a long car trip.
She blew up yesterday at breakfast in front of her dad, which he hasn't seen at this level before, saw how I handled it and backed me up 100% (thanks DH!).
Along with the consistency Dude mentioned, a different day planner page (check list rather than time) and some positive reinforcement we gave her after a very long day of car shopping on Saturday, we are off to a good start this a.m.
Her piano teacher also upped the expectations for her at the end of last week, which I think has changed her view of herself, although watching her face during her lesson was pretty funny (to me.)
Today, so far, so good.
