We call n...Sonya, <BR/>I can use all the tips I can get! We call nagging, but identifying it as nagging does not help. She has found ways to hint at the topic, then wag her finger at me and say, "No nagging!"<BR/><BR/>Karla,<BR/><BR/>One thing I would probably do is hand Pamela a piece of paper and at the top write, "Shopping List", and have her put "bug container" and anything else she can think of at the moment. I am not into instant gratification, but I might say to her, "I will help you get calm. If you calm down, I will take you shopping as soon as we are finished and we will buy the bug container."<BR/><BR/>When she is upset and when she was younger, we found sensory integration techniques to calm her (spinning her worked best). Today, she is too big for me to spin, but she regulates herself well. Now, I will ask her to breathe, and we will breathe deeply together. I am not a fan of scripts, but, in this case, I might launch one of her favorites to help teach her how to change her thoughts and cheer up. Yes, I will hazard a trip into scriptland if it means avoiding an ugly scene--a choice between the lesser of two evils, LOL! If I know we are going into a stressful situation, I might bring one of those small, squishy balls to squeeze tightly.walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-3735637690542587482007-05-11T22:17:00.000-04:002007-05-11T22:17:00.000-04:00Awesome.

And yes, the sneakers do look wonderful!<BR/><BR/>For my boys it's articulation that is a problem. But if I ever have a child with echolalia, I would certainly want your site at my fingertips. There is just wonderful information there!<BR/><BR/>I would love some tips on how to re-direct my stubborn sons when they get stuck on being upset. Today we went to the forest, and one of them was very, very angry that he didn't have a bug container like some of the other kids. He would not quit saying it over and over again and began to pick at his brother and hit a tree, etc. Finally I told him if he didn't stop saying it, he was going to write it. Then he disolved into tears. <BR/><BR/>Every day is a challenge!<BR/><BR/>What would you have done? Redirecting doesn't work, btw, they are little brick walls stuck in mortar when it comes to an issue!<BR/><BR/>God Bless!<BR/>Karla<BR/>http://homeschoolblogger.com/karlakayakinsKarla Akinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339430358234555531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-29082887610142653132007-05-11T13:48:00.000-04:002007-05-11T13:48:00.000-04:00Oh, how well I can relate to Scriptland!

Thanks for the reminders of how to keep our sanity. <BR/><BR/>One thing we've been doing lately is addressing the script head-on by saying, "We've already talked about that. Now let's talk about something else." Which works sometimes, but other times triggers the follow-up script line, "You mean it's a routine?" Sigh. We get sucked in when we're not looking, don't we?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
