Behaviour Problems!

Brody had a great day! The brilliant and lovely lady Jill from ABI come to help with Brody's behaviour problems. It was fantastic and what Brody needed, but as we lived so far away these services aren't available. Jill helped me understand why and what to do when he does certain behaviours. We also did lots of role play to help Brody with his hospital things, like blood pressure, dressings and sharpies. We all had lots of fun. Jill was also teaching Brody what the word Brave means, and we had to be brave to open a toy toilet that shots water. Brody thought this was real funny and made us be brave all the time. The strategies that Jill gave me will take time and need lots practice before we see any results, but she believes we will. Hopefully staff at the hospital will also do these strategies as Brody will then go back to his old ways or worse and then its like starting again when he comes back home. But i will be there to push them too.

Thank you so much Jill, for your work and support and just beaning you. Thank you my dear friend Chantelle for introducing me to Jill. xxxx

We then just had a normal day at Grandma's, doing activities, watching TV, PlayStation and going for a drive to pick up pop's car. Brody is still going well, a little bit moody today, but other wise he is doing fine.
