But, I was wondering....how is it going now? Madi does the same stuff and we are really struggling with her. We have done the Social Story on the IPAD too. It seemed to work for a little while but now we are back to hitting. Today alone, I think I have been hit 10 times, her OT 2x that and a little friend who dropped by, probably 10 times also. I am at my wits-end!!! The immediate time-outs/other disciplines do not work on Madi either.

She'd just reach out and swat them as we strolled down the hall. ACK. (Did I tell you this already?). It was horrible while it lasted but I can tell you it has passed so don't despair! xoxoxo krlrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392064691347464660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704406957662088168.post-33546310152072072952013-09-13T13:51:14.155-05:002013-09-13T13:51:14.155-05:00Your boy?

I get nervous going to parks because she shirt pulls the little kids and tries to barrel past them on the slide.

I think that communication is a huge cause of these behaviors. Both Owen and Ellie have such a hard time making sounds and words so throwing and acting out are what they do instead.Anna Theurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937391910402532608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704406957662088168.post-72105103237578445462013-09-13T13:45:27.127-05:002013-09-13T13:45:27.127-05:00Have you seen the "no biting" PEC?

I used to be the mom of a mean kid. I dreaded the walk down to the office whenever I had to sign off on the notification form of what my child had done to a classmate. I remember coming so close to him being banned from the gym childcare. Take a deep breath, try to stay calm, and remember what a little angel she can truly be at times.Michele {Malaysian Meanders}https://www.blogger.com/profile/18313351463568423694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704406957662088168.post-34549674494783551382013-09-11T20:56:43.142-05:002013-09-11T20:56:43.142-05:00And also, whatever that thing is on the other side...And also, whatever that thing is on the other side of the glass window, kind of under Ellie's left elbow is creepy.

She kind of explodes a bit and either pinches me, or shoves me. It's nothing terrible, and certainly better than the biting she did at ages 2 and 3, and as quickly as it comes on, it often dissipates. She knows what she did was wrong. Hopefully age and maturity and communication skills will lessen the bad behaviors in both of our girls. :-(Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963099760885760598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704406957662088168.post-67985802252703611162013-09-11T13:22:44.824-05:002013-09-11T13:22:44.824-05:00I'm sorry you're both going through this. ...I'm sorry you're both going through this. I'm guessing it's a phase and all about communication and attention. Owen is currently doing a "toss everything I don't like" thing. If I tell him to put on his shoes and he doesn't want to do it, he'll pick them up and throw them down the stairs and then give me this look like "there, I told that lady off" or he'll throw himself down on the floor if I say it's time to work on drawing or put the Kindle away to go to bed. It's exhausting, but I at least know why he's doing it. When he does it, I walk away or bring him downstairs to collect his shoes and then make him put them on. But I know that it's not that simple for you. Just want to say that I understand your frustration. <br />I hope that with ABA therapy and the other things you've implemented that Ellie starts to understand and make some changes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913754866057778005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704406957662088168.post-25562617039967532062013-09-11T11:11:23.600-05:002013-09-11T11:11:23.600-05:00Ellie and Kimani would make the best of bullies fr...Ellie and Kimani would make the best of bullies friends, lol.
