As much as the child is distressed, it wears on a mom's heart too. I remember Ian's anxiety and weeping when I left and crying all the way to work. Similarly, I would cry if I think he DIDN'T miss me either (maybe it's me!). I hope that it gets easier for Maya during those times and for Mandy too. <BR/><BR/>I love the spoon story and comment.Linda Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801313102525232162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-41114015535669841852008-04-17T20:58:00.000-04:002008-04-17T20:58:00.000-04:00I can't imagine how that repetition tries the pati...I can't imagine how that repetition tries the patience.Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-59203167892065633382008-04-17T20:44:00.000-04:002008-04-17T20:44:00.000-04:00Hi there, just dropping by to say Hello, I found y...Hi there, just dropping by to say Hello, <BR/><BR/>I found your blog from the Big Bang Master List. <BR/><BR/>Have a nice day.MisterZylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168340364257387227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-86486179832726313872008-04-17T19:20:00.000-04:002008-04-17T19:20:00.000-04:00I always think there are gremlins hiding things fr...I always think there are gremlins hiding things from me.

These kids are SMART and when we try to fool them, they know it. That said, Maya just may not like to see her mother leave. Brandon never had this trouble with his Mom, but with me. I was his caregiver and was with him most of his waking hours, so he became very anxious when it was time for me to leave. With Jordan, who is not on the autism spectrum, it was his Mom that he disliked being separated from. <BR/><BR/>I found when Brandon was young and he had meltdowns that the best thing to do was leave him in a quiet spot until he calmed down. This broke my heart but it had to be done. We also found we had to be very firm, like you said you were with Maya. <BR/><BR/>If I can be of any help, be sure to let me know. Children on the autism spectrum are a challenge, but such darlings. I will keep Maya and her brother in my prayers.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I have a feeling that it was Maya who put the spoon in the little compartment and then she forgot. <BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-46262361108795740752008-04-17T13:19:00.000-04:002008-04-17T13:19:00.000-04:00I left you a little something on my blog!I left you a little something on my blog!Beth from the Funny Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648093449310949014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-72075185917188326942008-04-17T11:35:00.000-04:002008-04-17T11:35:00.000-04:00Chilren, as Art Linkletter used to say, say the da...Chilren, as Art Linkletter used to say, say the darnedest things!<BR/>SandiSandi McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033518416111957858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-26732870676714301432008-04-17T02:52:00.000-04:002008-04-17T02:52:00.000-04:00Bet the bike will be the first place you look for ...Bet the bike will be the first place you look for anything now!the mother of this lothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173598381711792094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-31696827931648895402008-04-16T23:04:00.000-04:002008-04-16T23:04:00.000-04:00it is very interesting how the mind works.....they...it is very interesting how the mind works.....they get fixated on something and there is no letting go....my youngest daughter had a thing about her socks...had to be a certain way...had to be right height....no ribs...oh my goodness....but she always knew if I tried to fool her....kids...they know.....Smalltown RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806734351278128551noreply@blogger.com
