Brandon has been so dysregulated lately. Screaming and yelling and giving us lots of disrespect It has become exhausting. A few nights ago Don had it out with him in a loving manner.. talked about how smart he was and how much love he has but the disrespect had to stop. We came to the realization that he is emotional at 5 and is trying to set his boundaries and see what type of control he can have etc... a testing thing to us. Also he is going to a new school in a few months and that is freaking him out.. had that talk with DOn. Now Don made a comment many moons ago about going to a new school and how it was not fun and scarey.. but he never elaborated. Oops put in some strange thoughts with this child.
Both boys are nervous for going to the new school but once we get into the routine etc they will enjoy or so I hope. Anyway, after this long discussion and being held by Don for an hour or so the next day Brandon did much much better. So now we are heading to Springfield for a family vacation and I hope this continues. Now with the family vacation, Brandon does much better because we are all together and all doing the same thing and having fun for most of the time. He relaxes and can stay with us and not get too many triggers to set him off to dysregulate. We have a ball at Disney and Dells, without much trouble.. it happens with minimal food or drink or sleep... hopefully we will not have too many triggers to set him off. We shall see and I will let you know.
