Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Well as some of you may know from reading my past posts I have been doing FIAR(Five in a Row) with MA(Mater Amabilis) level 1A this year with my 6yo dd(she will be 7 next month). I was going to finish out the year with FIAR and MA 1B but I am now leaning towards just finishing the year with FIAR. My dd is special needs(no official diagnosis yet which is another post)we believe Oppositional Defiant Disorder and or some form of autism. At any rate behavioral issues are really wearing me down and we spend more of our school time fighting to get things done. I do not like that and I am feeling that I want to do as little as possible and just focus on our mother daughter relationship. I feel as though our relationship is being destroyed due to this fighting.(I only use fighting for lack of a better term.)I will continue with the religion from MA as dd will be making her 1st communion this year. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions. (I am frustrated because I want to do the right thing but yet I do not know what the right thing to do is.)Should I stick it out the rest of the year and do my best?
Thanks for reading/listening...
Darlene

My oldest is PDD-NOS(autism) and is pretty easy going. However, he really has to be pushed to do his schoolwork. His way of defying me is to ignore me and do nothing!

One thing that I've found helpful is to keep lessons short. I also give him the option of what subject to tackle when. For instance, I will ask him if he'd like to do his math drills, practice his printing, or read a story to me. He gets to pick among those three until we've done them all.

Hope this helps at least a little...
