Janie - Christine's suggestion above really works! I did this for my son and after some time of waiting until he fell asleep and just leaving the OCF info by his bed, I began to notice a more positive attitude in him and better cooperation. I screened the info and only gave him positive things that applied to him and his recovery. In our case, I thought that maybe accepting suggestions from someone other than his mother (a more objective person) might work better so he wouldn't feel his mother was telling him what to do.
