13Chat Transcript: continuedKimHOST That makes a lot of sense.
KAYDOC I found that
Building the bonds of attachment - D. Hughes and
Healing the Hurt Child - Donovan were great
KimHOST I am working with a mom who is regaining custody of her child after two years in placement.
Johnsmom we took control away even further, treating the child more like a 2 year old whom cannot yet take care of himself - there fore instilling the idea that we will take care of him, his every need and want.
KimHOST She adopted the child at age 2
JodyHOST Why was the child removed?
SusanMW Also, I give her lots of chores as restitution instead of timeouts.
poppyflr abuse and neglect....Jody
KimHOST Now she is 13 and seems to be doing very well so far
JodyHOST We do the chores too....then I praise them for making amends and trying so hard to do something great for the family.
Johnsmom hold gots to give hug and pizzazz for strong sitting
SusanMW Some days I'm good on the pizzazz and some days I really have to dig deep to do it.
KAYDOC next month I plan on play / dream therapy of walking my children through what I call a RAD birth
poppyflr I've been having Michael hug his sister and brother when he has hurt them and say he is sorry...looking them in the eyes.
JodyHOST what's that Kay?
KimHOST Interesting
Johnsmom anyway, John has to ask for everything even to use the restroom!!! no free privileges
KAYDOC even the 13 year olds want attention of a baby - give the child things you would do if they were a baby - the response here has been great
Johnsmom those have to be earned over a period of time doing what is expected of him. which for the most part is being RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE AND FUN TO BE AROUND.
poppyflr would that work for a five year old too?....treating him like a baby?
JodyHOST No one is too old to be loved with tender loving care
Chat Moderator poppy, it works for me... and I'm an old person
SusanMWpoppyflr, oh yes! Hannah is 8 1/2 and we still do the "baby routine."
Johnsmom oh yes even would work faster the younger they are, the holding therapy we use is between him and i, holding him like a baby and rocking and talking or singing lullabies
poppyflr what exactly do you do?
