Bless you for seeing that this person is young and naive about things, and as you said full of text book solutions. Her comments were inappropriate and sad, but maybe she will grow into the job and end up understanding in the process.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303174242363531142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-85553112577665635162009-01-08T13:53:00.000-08:002009-01-08T13:53:00.000-08:00I wrote about worker bootcamp.

I had a mom, who had parented two bio kids with no special needs, tell me the other day that kids were all the same special needs or not and that parents didn't get a break until they died because I mentioned how exhausted I was.<BR/><BR/>I think that many people with kids who don't have brain damage or severe behaviors do not truly understand what emotional exhaustion is. There are days when I feel like my brain is rolling over and over inside my head because I just don't know what to do next. This isn't like dealing with your kid who got caught smoking or having sex as a teen. It is like dealing with a kid who will burn down your house (either unintentionally or intentionally), hurt your dog or your other kids, strip off all their clothes and run down the road, or simply scream for 3 hours straight without ceasing like bloody murder...and there is no pleading no consequences no rewards no modifications in the WORLD that will change what they want to do when they decide to do it. I may just copy some of this and write that post anyway...cause I could rattle on forever about this.Torinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992090842674056507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-38449964717716358082009-01-08T09:29:00.000-08:002009-01-08T09:29:00.000-08:00I want to volunteer Little Man for a reality check...I want to volunteer Little Man for a reality check.

He said he would be working with autistic children and children with ODD, etc...<BR/><BR/>I asked him to basically educate himself on RAD. Have an idea about it because he went on and on about all these books that have wonderful ideas and support groups, training etc... Totally idealized. <BR/><BR/>I read those kids books, they don't pertain to my kids, support groups? I know there are people in my area with RAD because the two books at the library are always checked out. Training...from who? As far as I know CYFD where I live don't even know that RAD exists. <BR/><BR/>I have always been blunt and to the point. I told him I wasn't trying to offend him, and that I am in no way anywhere near as qualfied or have been to any classes like him, but he is naive. I explained to him that I sounded just.like.him. when this started with the kids and I can look back on myself and think boy was I an idiot. <BR/><BR/>He said he's not upset with me but I know he is. Whatever. I feel like I have given him what could have been the best advice of his career, you know? lolReighniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249582936717929919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-2839030896703684162009-01-08T06:36:00.000-08:002009-01-08T06:36:00.000-08:00Textbook ideas and theories are wonderful.
