Besically it involves evaluating what the child is getting from the behavior, and letting him get it in a “kosher” way. An excellent book is:

BTW, if you have only recently started being serious about follow-up, Sopie may well not have yet really realized that the rules have changed.

So then what are we supposed to do? Wait it out? I try to be patient and most of the time I think I am, but sometimes…it’s HARD. And annoying.

And with other people’s reactions, I think I’m beyond the whole getting embarassed thing, but still. I’d prefer my kid not be the one that EVERYONE is staring at.

Which brings me to the question: Is it the Down syndrome, or the Litte Shi* syndrome?

I have learned to be a little less uptight (not saying you are, just me) about how Kayli’s behavior is perceived since many people tell me she’s really okay and mostly it’s me being embarrassed. But I also say that there are certain situations, like shopping where my tolerance is close to zero and I give good warning before I go and there is dire consequences. Thanks God she’s ten now and it’s not such an issue. Rally around “hands to self “!!
