After our trip it was back to the grind.
Miss L started OT again once we returned and we got some GREAT ideas right away. One was to make a schedule. Miss L thrives on structure and knowing what is coming next. Transition times can be hard for her (as for any kid) and having a checklist really streamlined our day. She stopped fighting me to do schoolwork and stopped asking when it would be over, and we got a lot more done!
Another gem we found that worked well was to do work at the wall. It doesn't work to tape the paper up, because this requires her to hold her paper with her other hand (and forces her to write properly). It gives her all kinds of feedback and she concentrates more on her work. It would be impossible to do this forever but it works really well when we start to get the wiggles.
