Tonight Therapist J was here meeting with Older Boy.  He does a GREAT job with him.  Older Boy was doing great and then Therapist J needed to give him a redirection.  He immediately went from being cooperative to being non-responsive.

Therapist J was surprised at how quickly it happened and how small the redirection was which caused it to happen.  I told Therpist J to wait.  As soon as Older Boy felt like talking again he would do it in a baby voice and be very silly.  Older Boy didn't disappoint.  Therapist J said that in his mind he is probably thinking that if you act like you are five you can't be held accountable for the actions of someone who is fourteen.

Their whole session today was on following directions and how when you don't it gets you further and further from your goal.

Praises for creative therapy and for allowing Therapist J to see some of the behaviors I regularly see.

Prayers for healing.
