hi everyone!
I've been going thru strange umm withdrawals from not being able to get in here that much. So much is going on with-everyone i'm trying to play catch up while i'm cooking.
So, difficult child i wanted to update. She has overall in my eyes been awesome. She has melted down about 3 times this week, and refused school pretty badly two times. It made me late.
Yet each time I made sure to regroup, stay super calm, talk to her, alot of praise ive been using. Now normally I would yet i've been pouring it on bigtime this week, and each time we made it thru an episode she rose up again! Got thru her days with-anxiety she has admitted yet thru self talk I've taught her and different techniques her and I came up with to make her feel safe she got thru! NO NURSE THIS WEEK!
All homework's been done as well, it takes us up to an hour and a half after i get in from work yet it's done.
So, all in all she was ready for me to push i think. It's too soon to tell how she will continue to do. I'm transitioning a sitter in next, have a few interviews this weekend. I desperately need back up and also I was searching for one on one with her. I want someone special for her to be with while i'm at work. Someone who will give her their time and not just "watch" her. Polish her nails, draw with her, do hw games together to get it done like i do certain nights.
I had a few potentials yet the diagnosis's scared them away. Yet I have one who my gut is telling me could work well. She's an aide, children are grown, sounds very nice yet we will see. I will meet this weekend and if i chose her i will transition her next week. Make her go to school with-me to pick up difficult child, come by apt. on another night so difficult child can show her where her toys are, her room, her kitten. than ween her off me picking her up by week 2 i'm figuring and all whomever sitter will be.
anyway i'm proud of her, bigtime for hanging in there with me this week. I have to be honest i think it has to do with-what i am doing for work. i told her what i'm doing and she feels connected somehow. she asks for info yet i can't show her that stuff.
sorry so long just wanted to share since i was freaking out last week
