[QUOTE="Jena, post: 221822, member: 4514"] hi, I think you covered it all, to be quite honest. I think there is a certain level of uncertainty in most individuals when entering into a "new" situation or environment, even easy child's at times. I know that my easy child will also express confusion at times when entering into a new environment of sorts. As far as the rest of the day goes, I think him even doing his work on the train is huge, especially with a crowded train at that point. My difficult child would never be able to do that, she'd just quietly hold my hand and wait till it was over. Overall I think you should be very proud of him and the fact that he did recognize his own need to get to the car at the point when it was over. I was confused by the elevator thing, I dont' see this as a bad thing, nor do i see it as shutting down. My difficult child often does this, and it truly is her way of trying to regain control over an overwhelming situation. Control and them realizing their need for it, is huge. I hope as well he enjoyed part of the day and I was really impressed to see how well he handled it and how calm you remained through it. Your a good Mom and a good model of calm for him to observe. Their like little sponges i've come to learn, just when you think they aren't watching and taking it all in they sooo are. [/QUOTE]
