Today we CREATED :)
A wall poster... big enough to need two of us to hold it up to the wall whilst bluetacking... to remind Jack of the brilliant things about himself :)
Flowcharts... colour coded with options and backup plans... to help Jack better survive the school day :)
Being faced with an increasing number of 'sad' and 'I'm a horrible kid' moments over the past few months, the time has come to 'grab the bull by the horns' and work at full speed in developing his positive self esteem and social coping skills... not that we ever stopped, but it's time to step things up a gear...
Lately the idea of Social Stories has had Jack running for the hills, but he's been receptive to the new creations of today... fingers crossed that with some intensive and repetitive role playing, we might see some positive developments :))
Grab that bull by the horns!! Go Jack!! I hope others working with Jack are sure to tell him that this or that wasn't a good thing he did, but HE is a great guy and will do better next time... :)
