Every night I put my oldest to bed we talk about our rose of the day- bright spot, thorn, low spot, bud- something to look forward to. We try to do this with Adam, but he doesn’t like it, mainly I think his Brain is DONE, as end of the night. Also could be hard with the vocab- we try to switch to happy sad, still no, could also be hard for him to recall past events and draw to his current mind. So my oldest and I do it, and I’m think our community should do it! So share a rose, thorn or bud in the comment ❤️

What was the best and hardest parts for you this Halloween or What growth did you notice?

Just got off the phone with the SPED teacher from Adams school, he’s been spitting at kids🫠 I needed to first understand the context as to which he was doing this. Given the deeper insights, it seems that Adam is spitting at kids that he doesn’t like and those kids typically have a harder time communicating, and he’s getting really big reactions and he’s laughing about it💔 it’s not funny, it’s sad and mean, but that DOES NOT Correlate that Adam is mean. It means he needs a little more social understanding on the how people might feel, what else can you do when you don’t like someone, why is spitting not good. These social nuances around behaviors can give us so much insight.

Currently in the mountains with my sister! I haven’t been alone?!!!Since I can’t remember! Do you allow yourself to get away? Let yourself get taken care of? Or still a work in progress?

When we begin to see the little things, the little wins and success and focus our mind on those, we begin to see those more often! What is your win this week!
