[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 318760, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]I didn't read all the responses so forgive me if I'm being repetitive. My tweedles were the same age when we adopted as your difficult child. They had lost or never been taught so many life skills - the basic ones, stranger danger, self awareness, self calming, they had no fear, etc. that we never have allowed them out on their own. At 15, both kt & wm still are learning basic life skills & neither are allowed out by themselves. wm goes out with an Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker. kt will have Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) & PCAs when she comes home from Residential Treatment Center (RTC) in January. Our babies were hurt/neglected at a very young age ~ many times the skills that should have been learned in those developmental years are the hardest to learn, to sink in for our children. Just wanted to offer you my experience on this. wm will likely always need some type of caregiver. kt, on the other hand, is slowly - very slowly learning the skills that she missed. As a parent you do what must be done even if your child hates you for it. They get beyond it. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
