Last week, Alex had a rough time at school. I was hoping a visit to the dentist would
cheer him up. (It’s not as dumb as it
sounds, he loves the elevators at the dentist.)
But the weekend came and he was still very aggressive and
non-cooperative.
It’s so hard to try and figure out what’s bothering
him. It could be something which
triggered him and started him on a spiral.
Or it could be something continuous.
Usually we can break the spirals but this time, we’re not having any
luck, which makes me think it’s something continuous. But I can’t think of something continuous.
He had been doing so well that I was planning to try
expanding his very limited diet again.
That’s off the table now.
Whatever else is going on, school has to be the priority. Which means we try and make home as smooth
and comforting as possible. He’s only
got so much tolerance (as do we all).
I know most seven year olds don’t have insight into their
behaviour but they can at least tell a parent if they have a headache or their
stomach hurts. I don’t get those
cues. Unless its an exterior symptom, I
won’t know about it. It makes it very
frustrating.
On the plus side, we did get the hardware for the swing back
up so I can show it to Alex after school.
Maybe that will help. I can only
hope.
