Rather than just listen and observe and sympathise, they're convinced they have the "answer" to the problem. Usually their ignorance and incomprehension of the problem is staggering.

My granddaughter still with me succumbed to thirteen years of sibling abuse last Christmas and had a mental breakdown. I've spent months with her, in rehabilitation, and we've come through some very fragile periods to a place of strength and competence. Last May we were in a theater, with that friend. My granddaughter had not worn enough clothing for the unexpectedly cold building, and drew her knees and sandled feet up under her skirt. My friend reached over me to smack at her knees. "Tell that great big girl to get her feet down!" I saw tears form in Laura's eyes. I gave her my jacket to use as a blanket. The friend and I have not spoken since then. I've learned everyone has their own diagnosis of my granddaughter, and everyone has a "treatment plan." I'm the one paying her medical bills; I follow the plan of the professionals, and it does not include behavior control.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-61713667285735491032016-09-23T21:12:24.571+01:002016-09-23T21:12:24.571+01:00Ursula: Well, it makes perfect sense that a toddle...Ursula: Well, it makes perfect sense that a toddler is "acting their age".

Not yet able to articulate what it [the toddler] feels. Mainly frustration. Reduced to nothing.
