Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 You can limit him to a certain # of questions per time period, ie "You are only allowed to ask mommy three questions before the school bus comes!" You can have a visual prompt for him as well, to help aid in showing him when his questions have been asked. A checklist for instance, and every time he asks a question, HE has to check off one of the boxes. ** Start a little higher, depending on how many questions he asks now. Ex: If he's asking ten questions every few minutes, you may need to limit his question-asking to 7 or 8 at first, then gradually wean him down to less. Another suggestion: try limiting him to a theme. So if he asks questions about the same topic, use the above strategy but tell him he's limited to a certain # of questions pertaining to that subject. Use a checklist for him to mark off for this too. Good luck! Stacie Groeling Xanadu Behavior Therapy Verbal Stim I am new. My son, going on 10, has a need to ask questions .

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 A journal. Write down his "FAQ's" and your answer to each question -- use a separate page for each question. Then, when he asks, remind him the answer is in the journal. If the FAQ addresses an issue that he's having conflict with you about (he wants something that you say no to, or vice versa), tell him, "My answer is the same as the book." Period. Anything else will invite further conversation and doesn't put an end to it. I know about this first hand. My daughter does the same thing. Some questions she asks over and over because it's comforting to her (it's something she already knows). This has been the case for the past two weeks prior to school starting. About the conflict questions, be prepared. My daughter came to me with her chest puffed up, asked her question, and when I said, "My answer is the same as the book," she stuck her chin out and boldly replied, "The book is in the trash."

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 > My daughter does alot of verbal (babbling) stimming she does this > with or without enzymes. Do you think something else is causing > this? For my son, this was improved with B12/folic acid, and even moreso with anti-virals. >>Never had a yeast problem - no bad bm's Yeast does not always show in the bm. Viral die off causes " brain yeast " for my kids, which does NOT show in the bms. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 > Dana, thank you for your reply. What do you mean by anti-virals? I use Lauricidin, olive leaf extract, and certain enzymes. You can also obtain rx medications. >>My daughter takes TMG with B12 and folic acid combined. Do you recommend just taking the B12 & folic acid on its own without TMG? Depends on if she needs the TMG. Is it helping her? How much B12 are you giving?
