I appreciate knowing that there are so many people out there who are faithfully praying for our family. Some days are just better than others!<br /><br />Espy - I got many suggestions from you and another sweet lady regarding substitutions and I'm passing along the ideas to Lily's teachers. Some things may have been tried but I'm betting not all of them. I'll keep you posted!<br /><br />Mary - We are trying a helmet so you were right on track! She actually wore her little bike helmet off and on at school today and it definitely seemed to decrease the hitting.<br /><br />And I agree with you Anonymous - I love that advice and can't tell you how many times I've told myself that through the years.AlongCameTheBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590432394118183751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-53866781335517504502011-03-09T13:20:17.463-06:002011-03-09T13:20:17.463-06:00Probably not something that she would tolerate, bu...Probably not something that she would tolerate, but would wearing a helmet be a possiblity?Mary Greennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-65332238604172218812011-03-08T21:35:17.063-06:002011-03-08T21:35:17.063-06:00I'm not sure this will help but Ms.Abington to...I'm not sure this will help but Ms.Abington told me when you don't know what to do.Do what you know to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-73835741498712953092011-03-08T19:23:55.412-06:002011-03-08T19:23:55.412-06:00L- I see this often with my AU students...with my ...L- I see this often with my AU students...with my (8-10) year old kids, they usually pound when they are...frustrated and don't have the words to tell me...mad at something or someone....worried about anything...are overstimulated and are trying to calm themselves by stemming....or it could be something as simple as a look, touch or sound...I know this can be disheartening for a parent. You want to fix it...get a "program" together and make it stop...Lily is a normal AU gal...:) However, this doesn't help you does it...;) <br />In my experience, I have tried substituting an object (play-dough, squeezy ball, punching doll) for the child to pound on instead of their own body...This level of extinction can take a lot of time...but I have seen it work. It can be frustrating to follow the child around and do a "hand over hand" approach when they begin pounding...but it can work. <br /><br />Girl...you have her in an amazing school with people who care about her and her success. I can't wait to see what methods they use to help...keep me informed...<br /><br />and you are an amazing God-loving mom....never forget it..if you do..let me know and i will remind you...WORD :)Espyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041485557353930100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864394486854097024.post-277115665362153392011-03-08T16:42:35.455-06:002011-03-08T16:42:35.455-06:00While I don't have any answers for you, I do k...While I don't have any answers for you, I do know one thing...
