"Tantrums and Exercises"

Kieran may have only been doing the Dore exercises since January but his motivation to do them is sadly lacking!!!!
I have had screaming, shouting, tantrums and hissy fits over doing them and he will pick an argument just to delay the inevitable. His favourite phrase is "Dore will not help me at school" I have learned very quickly that to try and placate, show empathy or disagree with him gives him the excuse to argue the point and delay the proceedings even further.
I came to the conclusion that I have not got the energy or the inclination to argue with him as what ever tactic he comes up with doesn't make any difference anyway, the exercises have to be done whether he likes it or not!!!!
Now I use Love and Logic advice of one liners I.E "Never mind or if you say so" as I am getting him ready and giving instructions on his exercises. By the time he has completed the first set he has forgotten what his original tactic was. Has worked so far, so time will tell. Ellie XXX
