I hav...Kathy, my poor long suffering husband!!! :-)<br />I have been *thinking* about the words 'therapist mum'. Thank you, Floortime Lite Mama, for highlighting this for me. xx <br />I am going to put some more thought into this and turn it into a blog post!<br /><br />Bright Side of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025195022971411268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-19352208017124847792012-12-18T21:43:48.001-08:002012-12-18T21:43:48.001-08:00Ha Our husbands always get to be our test cases!! ...Ha Our husbands always get to be our test cases!! Our thinking about thinking, well we need to start somewhere and husbands are a likely target hee hee..Good for you for refraining! :) I also love that you talk so empowered being Nicks Mom! Floortime Mama calling you a therapist mum was so telling to me :) because you are in a sense but so much more that no therapists could ever touch. You are Nicks MUM the mostpowerful thing about this in Autism remediation is being empowered in that fact. For me, of course there is help but.most importantly that MY guiding relationship with my kids was actually something that my kids started to trust more then anything else! Loved my therapists..but loved more being empoweredKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982646167594187250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-35874422161758548962012-12-17T06:46:28.399-08:002012-12-17T06:46:28.399-08:00Hi K, We do have the option of outside therapists,...Hi K, We do have the option of outside therapists, although we paid for the privilege! Nick used to get a lot of therapy, however, at the end of the day I found that he would work well with the therapists BUT he refused to do anything with me... My role was that of being his carer! We didn't really have a proactive relationship and he certainly didn't look to me for guidance. It's funny, I have never thought of myself as his therapist, I am just being his mum... although am learning how to be a more mindful mum to help him.<br />I love how you think I am from Australia. I am actually from New Zealand and live in South Africa!<br />Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you. xxBright Side of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025195022971411268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-2957200508493518712012-12-16T12:42:50.147-08:002012-12-16T12:42:50.147-08:00Ahhhh Meta thinking - the highest of all forms of ...Ahhhh Meta thinking - the highest of all forms of thinking <br />Di I love the way you share the inner life of being a therapist mum <br /><br />For us its just essential to have some outside therapists to engage him for some part of the day <br />Do you have this option in Australia ?Floortime Lite Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988840423227903784noreply@blogger.com
