Siempre a sus ordenes! :-) Another good social story would be detailing how Danny can access the great out of doors in an appropiate manner. e.g. Danny is in his house but wants to go outside. When Danny is outside he knows there are things such as traffic which can cause him to get hurt. Danny knows he cannot be outside alone. Danny asks a big person (a family member or adult) if they will go outside with him. Sometimes the big person is busy and cannot take Danny outside. Many times when Danny asks a big person to go outside with him they say yes and take Danny outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Kent, what a wonderful idea. That is really amazing what you thought up about the puzzle and the money technique. What great working brain cells! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 LOL! I think this is the main reason I haven't put Sierra in a toddler bed yet. As long as she's in her crib, she can't get out and into trouble. Kris mom to Sierra 3 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 's typical preschool has decided that she needs some " visual " reminders so that she doens't try and escape from the playground (Sigh). They have so great about having here there, making necessary modification, providing an aide in her classroom (at no cost to us!), etc..... I feel bad when they need to do more. But, they printed up some big stop signs and had them laminated, and they are placing them on the playground gates (last year she wasn't tall enough to push the safety bar open, but well, what a difference a summer makes!). There is one gate that leads to some stairs, and that is a particular problem.... she loves going up the stairs (but at least they know where her persistance is!). So, the stop signs went up yesterday.... we'll see how she responds to the visual cues. On the home front, has gotten ever more determined to leave and go visit with the neighbors. Three times in the last two weeks she has escaped and was found at their house (another sigh). I guess I am thankful that I know where to look first (in my panic of discovering her gone), but she just goes in their screen door (twice unnoticed by anyone!) and was playing the someone's bedroom!!!!!!! They are nice people, with 5 kids, so they are not easily flustered finding another child playing in their house. But even they were surprised to find her playing in their bed (pretending to have a sleepover, what else!) But what happens when they are not home? Where will she go? It's making me crazy, and I too, dream of duct tape :-) She can undo the deadbolt, so I need to install another one higher up. My oldest daughter has received a couple scary lectures about what could happen when she leaves the front gate unlocked (and I hate to put that much burden on her, but it's a fact...... that gate can NEVER NEVER NEVER be left unlocked, even if you have your scooter in your hand!). We looked into an automatic open/closing thing for the gate (to make sure it didn't accidentally get left open), but it would be thousands of dollars, and as my DH pointed out, she is already halfway to climbing over it, so closed and locked will only do us for a little longer anyway. If you have barbed wire and electric fence around your house, what do you think the neighborhood will think?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 !!!!!! You are supposed to be sympathizing with my heavy school work load--not rubbing it in that you are on sabbatical and I'm not. I haven't heard the " s " word mentioned in our school system for years. Maybe we don't even have the option any more.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 I haven't dreamed about duct tape, but I sure have thought of it when fully awake! Whenever we travel, one of the older kids usually volunteers to sleep on the floor in front of the motel door. Bev wrote: > Bev, > > > > Do you ever have dreams of using duct tape with Danny?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 That would work great-you could put the sheet on the wall, and stick the kids in front of the tele and you would always know where he was WebMom wrote: >How about a Velcro sheet and PJs that stick to it? >Bev > >Judi Scarpelli wrote: > >>LOL!!

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 LOL Kris... wait until she figures out how to climb out of the crib! Judi LOL! I think this is the main reason I haven't put Sierra in a toddler bed yet. As long as she's in her crib, she can't get out and into trouble.
