My Beautiful Boy

Posts Tagged ‘child behavior problems’

Today is Good Friday and we had a big family picnic this afternoon.  I have a couple of cousins that live in Melbourne and they have come over for the weekend.  My Uncle passed away last year and it was his birthday a couple of days ago so for my Aunty it has been a hard time, so she wanted to get the whole family together for a picnic.  I must admit it has been a long time since we have all been together at the same time. 

I guess most of them were together at my Uncle’s funeral but I unfortunately missed the funeral as we were travelling at the time and I was up the other end of Australia. Read the rest of this entry »

Corey went to school quite happily today which was great.  I can’t work him out, some days he goes to school fine and others he just refuses to go.  The school has set up a developmental plan to help him be less anxious at school so hopefully that might make a difference.

This morning I tried to keep things happy and got us running on schedule so that we weren’t rushing and running late, which I think made a difference to.  It’s weird though like none of those things bother the other two boys just Corey.

Yesterday afternoon I bought Aspergers Parenting which is an ebook so I had instant delivery. I downloaded it and printed it out – all 213 pages.  Now even though I don’t know if Corey has Aspergers or not when it talked about how to handle the behavior problems and anger I thought that it may be able to help me with him anyway.  I sat down last night and read it all and although there are many symptoms of Aspergers that Corey just doesn’t have, there were some that when I was reading them it was just like I was reading about Corey.

Deap Breath

A typical morning today, although I did actually get Corey to school one we were there he refused to go into his class.  I got the other two boys to their classes with Corey still following me and crying and then I took him to the office.  The school counsellor came and got hold of him and I left in tears while he was trying to grab on to me and screaming for me to come back.

I really cannot deal with this anymore, I think I am at breaking point.  I just sit here every day crying.  I love my little boy but I just don’t know what to do anymore.  Read the rest of this entry »

My name is Sheryl, I am married To Derek and we have three beautiful boys, Ben, Corey and Lachlan.  The big photo above is Lachlan on the left, Ben in the middle and Corey on the right.

We have lots of behavioural issues with Corey and I am at the stage where I can’t deal with it any longer.  I guess that is part of the reason that I started this blog so I can sit here and let out my frustrations by writing them down.  Hopefully I will be able to get Corey to write his thoughts on here too.
