It’s funny, but just as you think you have it figured out something then steps in. Tell me that is so no true!

For Elizabeth, she has been amazing for the three weeks that she was off on her break from the holidays.
But due to her that’s 3 weeks of being home with changes to her work and basically the structure of her weeks that she is used to.

The normal has made her slowly show signs of wear and tear.

Her signs of frame include a sharper tone to her voice, a bit more saying, “no” before doing something even if she actually really wants to do it and hanging out in her room a bit more. And appearing to be just a touch. more confused… thank you dyspraxia.

She was amazing over the holidays having her sister home and just the fun of togetherness was great and then she started to show overload and the thing about sensory issues is that come and go. …and slowly they show themselves. So, the good thing is ,and I say this often to anyone, is know your child and know what they can do, how long they can do it for, and the signs of issues so that you can intervene and help their systems get back to a calm spot.

For us, it was a creating a bit more structure in her day.

Making a schedule for the following week. When she “gets her life back” (Her words) to encourage her.

I will say there was never a more happy person to get ready for a work in the world as my Elizabeth.

On Monday, so again, the holidays went great and the typical signs of stress occurred, but we were able to take care of it.

And I offer you good thoughts as you start a new month and year.

I wish everyone a peaceful week,
