Well, today has been good and Braxton has done well. Tomorrow , he gets his freedom back on his bike.
I will walk him on the boundary route . I am thinking about making a red hexagon sign on red construction paper and posting it at the edge of the neighbor's driveway. He knows this sign as it is on the bathroom door at school. It was put up for him. I will also give him an incentive as he listens and a consequence if he does not.
I had a long conversation with my neighbor, telling her I cannot say he will not let her dogs out again. I also made it clear to her that I cannot police him every moment as I am only one person.
She absolutely does not want to lock her gate and while understanding her reasoning and rights, the other part of me does not understand that if she put that gate up to protect her dogs, why she does not go an extra mile.
And yes, I have already had someone attack me on my position. I fully understand my responsibility and I do know that my son must be taught respect of another's property, etc. I am fully aware that a child whether disabled or not can face serious consequences if not taught..even if they do not understand.
The person that has attacked me does not know me or my child, does not know the full extent of his disability. I had asked a question on another forum, asking for suggestions to help him understand and that is what I got.
Yes! I am frustrated as hell right now. We parents know what we should do about situations, but we do not always know how to go about it! What will our child understand?
What do you want from me and other parents? Shall we just put our children in a cage? Shall we be frightened every single minute of the day that our child will do what we taught them not to do? Do you want me to carry a bucket with me, so I can be right there to monitor my child, so I will have a place to pee?
