4. exactly what I am doing...
Thu Nov 9, 2017, 09:54 PM
Nov 2017

I am not yelling, at ALL... not trying to "control" the problems or him... just giving him love and letting him know in a calm way that I don't like the class cutting, etc...

I am starting a new therapist as well, hoping to bring the whole family into the mix too

Funny, I also work with kids...kindergarteners... I've learned a LOT from them too! :love:
