Well Today Discovery Center Was a Disaster

[Guest guest]

He held it together during his time there, but I got all the anger when he came

out he was screaming and yelling and almost crying.

I asked them what they did to upset him so much and he said that they changed

the way his game was played. I guess they told the kids to make up games which

he did he has a great imagination and they would not do his game in it's

entirety (sp) I think there were some things in there that the kids could not do

for safety reasons - I live with a dare devil.

He was mad as anything when I got him in the car, saying I'm not going back to

that place it is awful I just want to swim and stay with you. I don't know what

to do.

Oh, no!! Maybe he can think of a simpler game. He certainly has

a mind of his own! After he gets over being angry, maybe his

father can make some suggestions. That's what dads are for, right?

Any way could he stay home with a therapist or sitter or friend?

How long are you at the Discovery Center?

Well, at least he controlled his anger; that's a good thing. How does

he calm himself down? How long does his anger last?

Well, I'm sorry. I know you are disappointed. Love and blessings, Pat K

His father can probably help him, but they don't always do the game thing. He wants to help the Discovery Center run things he thinks he is helping sometimes he is sometimes he is not.

I am glad he held it together in public but I got the brunt of it while driving home. He is in the Discovery Center for about a half hour/45 min before I get there. My class ends a half hour after he is done I shower as fast as I can and get to him so that this doesn't happen.

He has to do it this year, I gotta get the exercise am I terrible for wanting to something for me for a change he runs my life all the rest of the time. I feel so bad for these feelings but I need the exercise this is a place with a heated therapy pool which is exactly what I need.

I have pleaded with him, his social worker has tried to explain to him that I need this, his dad has talked with him. I have been talkinga bout it for months before school ended.

He has to go there he is too young to stay at poolside and wait for me after his lessons the healthplex won't have it any other way he goes to Discovery Center or he doesn't stay after his lesson.

He has done this for two summers in a row so I usually stop my exercise and then end up gaining tons of weight cause I eat so bad.

Sharon stick with it. He will just have to adjust. Will any positive

reinforcers work? How about a book of puzzles or something like

that? He doesn't have to like it, but he has no choice. We all

have to do things that we don't like sometimes. What do you'll

do after you get through at Discovery Center? He only has to

deal with it for a half hour? Surely as smart as he is he can think

of something that he could do to entertain himself for half an hour.

What kind of things does he like to do? Does he respond to praise,

like praise for his self control? Does he have one friend there who

would be willing to play chess or checkers or whatever with him

for 30 minutes?

I'm just brain storming, but there has to be an answer. Does he pray?

Could he ask God to help him tolerate that 30 minutes? Karac prays

to be calm and quiet and it always helps him.

Well, Let me know how it turns out. I have Karac and Ayden from 6:00 to

6:00 tomorrow with no help. I'll pray for you and you pray for me.
