Today has been interesting / unusual ... over the past week, her apetite has decreased (she has lost some weight!) and today she had eaten nothing by end of school! The therapy session started with a highly anxious Kaylia ..... I made her a filling egg-flip milkshake and in minutes she was back to normal! It was hunger!
It's such a balancing act to manage our little girl ... interpreting behaviours and working out the whys and wherefores. If something goes wrong, it can happen quite quickly. Fortunately, when it does go wrong, if you find the right fix, then it can also be corrected fairly quickly.
Today was day 3 of Ritalin ... no effect can be seen yet. Today was also the first day of Kaylia having her own iPad at school. The plan is to ease into using it as a teaching tool. The teaching 'apps' need to have their data prepared and the teachers need to become familiar with the things that can be done with it. The iPad is really a new type of technology and it needs to be used in a completely different way.
