A very small,cautious update about DS

[Tweet]

Heh. For those following my saga, I wanted to update with the new behavior techniques. Like I'm so important that you all hang on to my every word about him,lol ;)

Anyway, we've implemented the positive reinforcement yesterday,last night, and today and WOW..I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but a huge change. Now, I'm not kidding myself...this will get old,too, I am sure and he will likely test it. But, I ENJOYED MY KID TODAY!! And he enjoyed me, too

Three times he got kind out of control, but hey, when it's usually an all day,every day thing I will take it! And last night they ALL had good behavior at the store during a normally cranky time of day for them.

DS and I did a puzzle by ourselves this morning and he didn't once throw anything out of frustration.

Oh Tweet, I could just cry for you. I can imagine how wonderful this must be for you both. I'm so glad you enjoyed your day with your son today. I hope you have many many more days like it!

I hope so, too!! I/we still need to do the visual chart, but we can do that this week. I did a make shift one yesterday, but slacked today. Still, he offered lots of suggestions today and even picked some of his own "schedule",like outside time and play time. lol. I didn't care,just as long as he was having fun and not freaking out!

That's wonderful!!! I wish you luck sticking with the new approach. New habits can be challenging to step into. But it sounds like the outcome is so worth it!

[Crabbie]

I am so happy that things seem to be improving for you both! I hope it continues and that you are able to get through the testing phase of the change. I am sure you can do it, you already see that it is worth it!

Yea!!!


It will be two steps forward, 1 step back, but the progress is in the right direction.

[cream_city]

That's awesome!!

I'm glad that you both were able to have a great day. I hope that you all find your groove.

It certainly feels better. I am not quite as stressed and feeling like a ball of angry nerves. I still wake up with that hard knot in my stomach, but it's not there all day. I didn't really realize how bad I'd been feeling.

It is just really nice to have some tools that are effective for everyone in the family. We (well, me) did not follow a schedule today because I was tired and it was so rainy and dreary out. However, we followed one tonight ( each kiddo makes something: DS does salad,dd1 does drinks,and dd2 does the veggies) and later we'll make sure we have our alone time with each kid. That seems to go a long way.
