I kept index cards and a marker in my purse and we would "draw" sequence cards saying first we will to this, then this, and LAST this. If we had a change of plans we would scramble to add in new cards. Maybe if we had shown her maps she would understand them now... great idea!Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802459265546733391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509367763483360241.post-34867715071244128182008-07-29T10:31:00.000-04:002008-07-29T10:31:00.000-04:00Great idea!

My son was the same way, would scream bloody murder if you turned left to the grocery store instead of going straight home after daycare.<BR/><BR/>Seeing a construction detour still makes me start talking fast to make him aware of him as soon as possible before we have to leave our route.<BR/><BR/>Maps probably would have been a big help for him.

Even if you don't park the car exactly where it is supposed to go (one foot off even)he gets really upset. I will mention to her the map and the way you have explained all this maybe it will make for more peaceful car rides for them.
