I have been reading this post with a lot of interest because we have been looking at the 2 options as well with our child...the old 123 book just didn't do much for us and DS6 is just too darn smart and seems to outsmart whatever program we attempt :-) so thanks for a great post

renie 1 - you caught my attention when you wrote "it finally explained what to do when she did not accept praise"...I thought we were alone in dealing with this issue...DS6 has from day one had a big issue with praise and compliments. He actually seems to get upset when we tell him we are proud of him or when he did an awesome job on something.
