[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 54643, member: 393"] with wm. Something to do that isn't all about spending money or non stop activity (chaos). Attachment therapist wants there to be "low level" visits with activities such as playing ball, bike riding & just a game of cards. Human contact with husband & myself with-o the price tag. This is supposed to be about bonding/attachment or at the very least, a respectful loving relationship. wm struggles with this - for him a visit from mom & dad = Disneyland. If it isn't a gift/or expensive outing he has no interest. We owe him because he isn't living here. (And it's all kt's fault - she's not supposed to live here; she's supposed to be in a group home. It's his turn to be home.) Foster mum told husband yesterday that wm gets more outings than any other difficult child in the home from husband & myself with add'l outings & visits from Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) therapist & his assistant. Foster mum & group home staff feels that wm isn't living the real world because of some of these outings. Additionally, some of these outings are becoming disruptive for this setting. (Parental visits are always accepted) Staff are working on visit ideas that do not involve that Disneyland mentality for wm. [img]:warrior:[/img] moms, have you any ideas? wm's placement is not a punishment - it's a reality of his actions & behaviors in the home setting. [/QUOTE]
