So, this post is hard for me to write. Most of my posts are upbeat and the fun, exciting things we do. I try to mainly post the good stuff instead of the bad, but our life isn’t all rainbows and roses.
Shortly before Edward’s birthday, we began to have more problems with Edward not listening and doing things that he knew he wasn’t suppose to do. Darrell and I would get him in trouble, but nothing was seeming to work. Things just got worse. Any time Edward would be told “no,” or if something doesn’t go the way that he wants/expects things to, he would go into full tantrum mode and strike out. All his anger would come out and he would attack anyone who was close to him or who would get the biggest rise. He wouldn’t listen to anything and any type of punishment would make things worse. After a rough few months, we went and saw Edward’s pediatrician who then gave us the name of a therapy group to help us. We are excited for the next stage and we hope that this helps Edward in whatever way we can. We had his first appointment today and it went well. Fingers crossed we start working our way over this bridge.
