Brain Core

This brain core therapy is a good thing but harder to administer than I thought. He has done 5 so far at the office and 7 at home and the office visits are easy. He behaves for the lady-Jessica-but will not do it here at the house. He says the lights bother his eyes but I have tried to remedy that with a pair of sun glasses so the other glasses and the lights arent seen by just his eyes. He likes the sounds of the heart beat but I have to fight him every time I need to administer at home. I have remedied that as well. He will be getting it done at school for 15 min. He will allow everyone else but me to do it. So if that is the case the nurse and the teacher are more than happy to do just that. He always seems to allow her to give him meds he is supposed to take at home so I let her give him the meds and do the things that is better done while calm.

I see a small subtle change in him but I hope the longer he does this the more I will see a change in him. right now they are trying to keep him calm most of the day and I do see that in him. But like any 5 yr olds he does throw his tantrums but they dont last as long.

I was always told when raising my kids -- rule of thumb.. attention span for kids is one year equals one minute.....and my kids would be good when out and about and terrible for me at home... good for grandma but not me... kids are hard to raise and a disability in the mix makes it more difficult.. lucky he has a terrific and loving mom...great job MOM..nancyl

Dyan: funny us Senior Citizen caregivers have the same problem. Our people do more with strangers than with the one they love the most. Just a reflection.

 

Best idea. If you do not have to be the bad guy, don't. There is plenty of time ahead for more of that - LOL.

 

Good news honey. Hang in there. Better times are coming! And thank you for the update. Debbie
