Well, I am thankful that we had about 4-5 weeks of decent behavior-her longest stretch ever. The tide is changing, Akila is on a downhill slide lately. We are back to walking on egg shells at home and trying to avoid rages.
I just got a call from the behavior specialist at school. Akila was taking a practice MCA test. Her aide was helping, with the parts she can help on. Akila was getting frustrated. She lost it and swore and called her names. I spoke with her on the phone about other choices she could have made than calling names and swearing. Have had that conversation a zillion times. Can't wait for the day when it actually sticks. Do you think that will happen?
About Me
- Psycho Mom
- North Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
- My name is Barb and I am a teenager at heart who is married to Michael, an Accountant. We have 4 adopted children, Akila-12, Imani-11, Hezekiah-10 and Zeke-9. I am a youth worker by profession but currently staying home attempting to manage our household. My hope for this blog is that it will help me to avoid cleaning my house (I actually don't need help with avoiding housework) and give me some serenity (I do need help with this). My oldest child, Akila, has Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and that is what I will focus on in this blog.

I don't know. MK is 24 and still swearing when she meltsdown :(
I hope so. I need to see it work with someone!
We can only pray for it to sonk in - or learn to laugh about it. Wonder what people would think if we started laughing hysterically every time they started in...I have only done it once to a FASD adult who was screaming mad at me and called be a "Coffee Drinking Soccer Mom!" (after all the fancy swear words...the last part just sent me over the edge of unbelievable.)
