My daughter will now have consequences to face (per her therapist) if she doesn't follow through on her daily exposures and this now includes school. She is to pick 3 days of the week and got to school for a set amount of time . She has been refusing to do so due to her anxiety level when it's time to go. Her therapist at the beginning of therapy would only allow us to reward her the days she went but now she will have her phone taken away and have an early bedtime. This will be so hard for me but as I have will continue to do as they say to get her better. Things are already so hard for her I hate to make her more unhappy. I hope to have more reward days then consequence ones.
These consequences were all per her therapist and not her Dad and I ...she thinks she needs an extra push because of her resistance to go into school even after getting ready and is standing in the parking lot. She is to go for 1.5 hours right now 3 days a week... But this is still difficult. She has been on homebound instruction since January... She went today but like you all know this sickness is unpredictablewhat will happen tomorrow and the next??? I just don't know.
