therapy is never a bad thing for parents! ESP ones with kids of special needs!!
I understand not wanting the tv on during pick up BUT would that help distract her? If it would it may be the lesser of two issues. I am sure of you explain to parents that during pick up, until you get some additional tools, the tv being on helps dd behave and the. Reassure them that it is not used on a regular basis.
I would say taking away a "lovey" wouldn't be a good idea anyway but it is interesting she doesn't really care in the long run.
Basically what I'm getting is no matter what your trying it doesn't have any lasting effect past a fit from her...
