Re: 2 issues: repeating on ruminating over past mistakes

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have a simple practice with this.. Give them what they need,

unconditionally, that you can afford (for your self. Make them work

for what they want (now you know?) inherent to his ABA

programming? .. . Tell him you'll take him back to the restaurant

(what he wants?) when he finishes his work, of what is practicable,

thereof?

Working hard " enough " should resolve the matter.. . (Nothing is

impossible, thereof?) Make sure you don't give him the very same

strawberry he originally dropped. (!) Replace it with another,

surrogate.. . To get over things like that (and to give him a better

understanding if not value of things) show him how strawberries (and

other things, thereof?) are transformed (or lost) in the typical

processes of life and reality. Think of it as a learning opportunity

(and bonding/pairing/understanding opportunity? .. .)+

Take him to a strawberry processing plant, perhaps? Try more things

related to " strawberrys " (of his interests;) that he normally can't

seem to part with, of his ruminating ways, I would suggest, to do

with the problem you have suggested. The " mistake " shouldn't seem so

overwhelming in that respect of the way things really are (and

compensate, if not benefit, thereof? ...)+ Who knows, he may land a

career (or hobby, or job) of that!

Also, next time maybe you could get the waiter to wash the strawberry

so he could eat it? Washing's fine, and is a valuable practice to

teach, no doubt. Maybe he could learn to wash things from his mind

that way, that he needs to wash away? (Of what washes less than

helpful/promising thoughts away, or runs with the more meaningful

thoughts, thereof?) Here's more than hoping so.

While on ruminating... for what's good for Us, thereof? More,

related to, is it medical or behavioral (or both) A ny come

lately thought? of thoughts, of feelings.. .

Hi and All?

The wisdom teeth coming in, at about 19 and 20 years, also presents

challenges, of stress and interruptions, thereof. We're at that

stage with our son but managing OK. When we're OK our son seems to

be better if not OK, too, is our sense of it.

Headaches (migraine headaches, especially?) can mimic seizures. They

can, if not being of a similar nature, I recall, of looking into that

some time ago. Migraine headaches are also more common than many

people realize? You might want to check your family tree for that,

too? Try giving your son an Ibuprofen? at least to start? .. .

Any unrecognized ailment, or deficit, (and there could be many!?.)

could precipitate a behavior demanding attention, of a " sensory "

issue, thereof? (One of the primary reasons for bad behavior? If not

the primary reason.. .)+ [seems we concur on that?!. If not how I

say so.. .;=] I wouldn't rule that out whatsover if not dealing with

that possibility, first. [Either ]

We have to work with medical experts of the other side of doing ABA

is my sense of it. (Treatment/training is a health related issue?

Yes, or so they say.).) Seeing medical practitioners is reinforcing

for our son, of our son's better behavior (Just making " that " a

program/part of a program...) we have found, of the matter. He " likes "

to meet experts and Individuals, thereof.. . Really! Make that a

part of your program? Everyone. I'm here for that

Something must work of that or he wouldn't be so keen of partaking of

it? Even with the dentist! .. . Go figure. Objects of desire,

(reinforcement?) " of " instruction, it must be, is my sense of It.. .

I sense beyond the norm?

Mike,

ABA for Understanding More

I know instruction " alone " isn't enough for *me*. What would

instruction be *for* should answer our question(s), thereof, of

reason? .. .

Use the language you've got (and get;) to take things to the next

level, (thereof?) is what I do with respect to language, of

Communication, for Understanding More thereof! (That " is " research,

based.. . What else, of the " results " 'I' get, thereof!)

There are no rules (of >regulation?<) of and for Communication, only

the desire to satisfy the other, the other's " feelings, " of needs, (of

oneself;) of Understanding More, thereof! (Anyone) So we " can " all

speak, ( Communicate ) even at the same time, (?!.)(especially so;) in

that respect of Communication! (Where we should " Feel " like doing

so? .. .)+ Otherwise, it becomes more of " regulation, " (for who, you

should perhaps ask ) and not so much of Communication, for the

Individual, (child?) thereof! .. . [On Thinking?!.][You wanted to

know ]

Don't say I " told " you so.. . I'm just " narrating, " of sorts

The work in progess. (Thereof )

If you can't accept that, think of me as an Individual civil-rights

" activist, " seeking Justness, thereof? .. . Yes! One of a kind

Try the Ibuprofen, first? .. .

I'm happy you got your issue with your son resolved, . You're

bang on with what you say, on why we have to see more people... to

get at what makes more sense, thereof

There's something to be said for ruminating and what all may be

entailed, thereof? It all makes sense to me, when I get what I need,

thereof? .. . You're right in feeling as you do? That's the least,

if not the most, we need to know, of making sense, thereof

Our kids are perhaps trying to get that feeling, of trying to

understanding more, thereof, of Communication, of love for more love,

of what is needed, thereof? .. . You can be the judge of that with me

+/-/O

Edit this as you wish? .. .

On the bigger picture.

Take what you need for your self? Leave the rest for others?

Respect feelings, all our feeling/s, thereof? And more than just

say " no " to abuse, (but's it's a good start? .. .)+ Otherwise

My group/s seem to be very good at that, but it's not always easy, I

understand.. .

+/-/O.

Welcome aboard.
