One week on NV - great progress but we are now in Meltdown City!

[Guest guest]

Liam continues to amaze us with new words, longer sentences, more attention,

more interest in what's going on around him, and best of all, a big desire to

share his world with us! He's generally happy, singing a lot and wanting us to

sing with him - this really does seem to have flipped a switch for him. And he

seems aware of the changes, too. It seems that he's aware and proud that he's

doing new things.

BUT . . . his anger and frustration levels - when he does get angry or

frustrated - are all of the sudden really intense! He threw a tantrum at

preschool today that was unlike anything he's ever done in the 2 1/2 yrs he's

been there. And yesterday was tantrum after tantrum after tantrum, all day

long. I believe that I read somewhere - can't find it here, so maybe on

someone's blog? - that someone else's kid went through a rough patch a few days

after starting NV? Or am I imagining that? Please give me hope that this is

just detox or something and will pass!
