My youngest daughter does best without changes and it takes several weeks to get it to sink into her mind. <BR/>Here is a suggestion about the toy thing...<BR/>Put them all up out of reach and out of sight. She can check out 1 to 3 at any given time and can only get different ones when she picks those up and "returns" them. You know like the library does....

I wonder is sweet Mya is just finding her place in life..pushing boundries what's acceptable and what's not....she is growing and learning and sometimes doing it in spurts...we all did that didn't we?<BR/><BR/>I know she gives you so much joy and love...just sometimes it's a little more challenging than one bargains for.Smalltown RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806734351278128551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-61536514597439513782008-07-16T17:55:00.000-04:002008-07-16T17:55:00.000-04:00From about 2 to 5 my son's favorite, and sometimes...From about 2 to 5 my son's favorite, and sometimes only, word was NO!<BR/><BR/>NO! I won't go to bed<BR/>NO! I won't brush my teeth <BR/>and on and on<BR/><BR/>In the morning, every morning, he'd ask "No school today?" and I'd tell him "Yes - there is school today" and it would be a battle all the way down to the street to wait for the bus.<BR/><BR/>As the bus turned the corner he'd look at it and make a face - when he was older he'd say "Oh God! here starts another day" made me laugh all the way to work.<BR/><BR/>NO is a good thing for kids - they establish independance, they begin to understand boundaries. Sounds to me like Maya is doing great.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946500110072411468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-44887254314684552008-07-16T17:18:00.000-04:002008-07-16T17:18:00.000-04:00Hi Jenni........ that was a really good post!

Picking up toys is not always done promptly no matter who the children are.<BR/><BR/>Just thought I'd let you know that my grandson saw the specialist today about possible autism and he is going to be referred for the Autism test which will take 45 mins and should be 95% successful in diagnosing him one way or the other. It is possible that it will be Aspergers but not concrete by any means yet.I suppose we will have to wait until next term now.Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-8523293658673104092008-07-16T12:44:00.000-04:002008-07-16T12:44:00.000-04:00Helping hands and love from the good people around...Helping hands and love from the good people around her - YOU - no doubt contribute mightily to being able to show love and emotion. Even some "normal" kids can't do that, because they have parents and others around them who don't express love. You doing so allows the little ones to do so.
