Journal Entry for January 12, 2009 Mood
Monday, January 12, 2009 | A Venting story

 

  Had a visit a few days ago from the health and safety environment officer.  My neighbours had a bright idea of calling them due to my son banging on the walls, which personally I found to be a bit - well lets just say not very neighbourly without having a chat with me first about the problem they were having.  He was banging for a good week and a half, but even so was not constant-People sometimes.  Anyway had the visit from the officer whilst he was at school and from that day on he has completely stopped banging his hands on the walls.

There was not a trigger for the handbanging and if I asked-told him to stop, trying to keep my voice in a nice calm, even manner and then just told him with my 'look' he would just get worse, and attack me with it, biting, pinching, so I tried to ignore up to a point, anyway he has worked through whatever the problem was and having two days respite helped a great deal, maybe taking him out of the situation, changing the format etc,  and lets just say I will not be speaking to my neighbours anytime soonLaughingand it's great to have my son back again.  Although I wish I did know the trigger of where things went wrong then maybe I would be able to correct the situation-but him having no speech and a severe lack of communication except for eye pointing and showing it's a difficult situation-but alls well that ends well.
