This morning I was not in the mood to write at all, Something just made me think whole night and this morning. I wrote things on my blog but then erased them. My thoughts are going back and forth . I am not talking about just an autistic child but any child - My mind was just full of basic questions .
I realized dealing with kids is just whole another science, has anyone ever Mastered this Art ?
Keeping yourself calm in situations which has no handbook !! Finding answers to questions like How OR Are we suppose to respond and rock a 2 year old when they just wanna cry and get up in middle of night ? Are we adults not suppose to eat and take care of our health because we are just so busy with kids? Are we suppose to take frustrations out on some other member of the family because we are just so exhausted in ourselves ? Are we suppose to still give a child its vitamins even though we know they will throw up ?
I did had my play-therapy session with R. Even though session lasted for an hour but it was interactive.
First Interaction happened when R asked me to get him Ball, Hula Ring,truck from the shelves. Even though he just used his Baah sounds to get them.
Second interaction happened while we played with the beach ball, which he loves a lot. He tried to dribble and bounce it back and forth from the crash mat to the wall in the same order as I did. Even though in between he was playing by himself also.
Another interaction lasted couple of minutes but at least a start. I got some flash cards and ask him to give me Pear,Door,Tacos and Sale & Pepper ones. R picked the correct ones till Tacos, handed it over in my hands. After that he was not interested anymore. But I felt very happy that he did played flashcards with me even though it was for couple of minutes !!
After that he asked me to put every game back on its spot on the shelf by giving me the object and telling me All-Done using sign language. He also tried to say Baaa
R asked me to open the door , I told him Magic words. But he still wanted to go outside. I praised him and that still did not made him stay.So I went to the rule "When nothing is working just do nothing and stay calm", So I went to a corner in the room across R and sat down quietly making some funny noises with my mouth. I felt R was looking at me non-stop when I made those noises. I am not sure was he stimming or really looking at me. But then I heard him trying to make same noises. Then he came to me and was trying to put his hands on my mouth.
I have to say R you are full of surprises and I still have to understand you. At the same time I love you, A and Y so much.....trying my best to get best for all of you kids !!
