Hi. I love your videos. I found them because i am an RBT and I was looking ideas for when my client go the barbershop. Have you consider the idea to making those videos in Spanish too because I think you guys also can speak in Spanish. I did recommend the videos to my client’s mom, but she only speaks Spanish and it would be so helpful for her. Anyway, it is just a suggestion, sending lots of love ❤️. I am your fan already.
Cute earrings! Im jealous. Only 2mos left. Wow! Time flies. I'm sure with practice and strong reinforcers he will get use to being a big brother. You'll do great getting him ready! We are seeing lots of aggressive attention seeking behavior too lately which can get scary. We are working on appropriate ways for our son to ask for attention and rewarding that but it takes time. We sometimes have to step away and remove ourselves and come back when he's calm so we aren't reinforcing the aggressive behavior with us talking to him. Its a struggle sometimes.
Hi momma I just found you and am binge watching your videos. I saw a video about you comparing aba center to aba home. You mentioned something about your opinion on preschool vs aba therapy center based. Would you be able to direct me to that video. Im in that boat right now and am looking for info. 😩
Im so happy your enjoying our videos!! I would say maybe this video is the one I talk more in detail about our opinion on that subject around the 5-6 minute mark. I also have a public school playlist with more videos on our experience 💙 ruclips.net/video/UyZOsZOQin0/видео.html
When my son and daughter in law were expecting baby#2, they were worried how mason would react... He can be a little rough. They got a baby doll and they would hold it and pretend to feed it, they also played RUclips videos of baby noises so he would get used to the sounds. He never wanted to hold the doll, but as I told you before, when his mom turned her back for a moment... mason grabbed his 1 week old brother and carried him off. It was scary but he was surprisingly gentle when he laid his brother down.
I think he might have been a bit overwhelmed, my son also shows love in a rough way, they don't really know their own strength . But yes it's good to teach him about caring for the new baby! I hope everything works out good! Love yo see his progress! Girl cut him some slack the kid eats good!! Let him have his candy every now and then! My son is really picky! You're doing a great job, and he'll be a great big brother!! My son is 2.5 years older than his sister and he's great, he even tries to initiate play with her at times!!! Everything will work out good!!
As a rbt I hear what your talking about these are all behaviors of tangible and attention seeking behaviors please share these story with rbt and Bcba also they can implement . When you are speaking about food I'm hearing deprivation is going on meaning foods that he is not getting access to there you may be able to use them as reinforces now and during time u have a ton of family over pull that token board out
My baby coming in 4 weeks so my autistic child is learning discipline the hard way. I don’t have time left for taking it slow. If he gets aggressive and hits he’ll be disciplined. I did more progress in a week than in 2 years. Simple
He’s going time out in his room with one ☝️ one warning beforehand. No more explanations and consolation. He’s 3, he understands what NO means, he understands what I’m saying. I’m never going to physically punish him but he’s going in time out in his corner w the speed of wind. No more! I won’t have him aggressive around the newborn just because I was too weak when I had the chance to still do something. They are just like neurotypical kids in so many ways - if you let them have their way all the time, they will take advantage.
@@ZimmoneZ618 okay I can see what your saying. A newborn definitely changes things. I love roughhousing with my son as play but we have to put a stop to it for the overall safety of the growing family. Things have to change and I’m also doing my part to help with the adjustments. we as their parents understand them best and do what we believe is best to support the needs of the family 💙
@@ZimmoneZ618 totally agree. Our kids may not speak. However, they do understand. We treat our 7 yr old non verbal as a typical child. There are consequences for bad behavior or disobedience. They may act out. But in the end they willingly comply. 😁
Autistic kids and dolls to be baby dont do well. In his brain, he know it's not the same. That's neurotypical play. Letting him watch videos of real babies and visiting a kindergarten or seeing someone else real baby will be better for his brain making connections. That doll play will not make any wires connect the lesson.
My comment seems harsh but it wasn't. That's like describing a color or animal to a blind person. Thats a sighted person imposing how their brain works on how someone else brain works. Please understand my point. He needs to see a real baby. He will not really care but his brain will register it as a real baby. My autistic son was squeezing my baby hand and feet. Realizing it was a real thing. And watch when the baby cried. And when he saw the baby genitals when I was changing the diaper, it clicked in his brain. Its 2 years now. He's not fond of his little brother still. But they do have a few play moments. And when his brother takes a toy from him. It forces him to interact with him to fight to take it back. And I force interaction by telling him to give 'baby name' a bottle, or snack or something
I definitely understand what your saying. And it is something I consider and know he may find difficult to connect to. I unfortunately don’t have a baby that I can have Christian interact with at this time. I will try videos of babies
@@ROCKNSTIMS ruclips.net/video/XGLMyOWnU3M/видео.html. This video has too much talking, he won't care. But you can low the volume and say simple words- baby. Baby cry. Baby drink milk. Getting him to understand that there's a baby in your tummy isn't important. When the baby comes out and your tummy is flat his brain will calculate and come up with it's own story. And autistics dont need to handle the future before it arrives. When the baby comes, he will handle it in real time.
Too much noise and probably feeling ignored with all the family. Something is really bothering him and he probably needs his own space away from the family. Self injury is common not just the severe autism. I bite my finger at times and support myself.
Our 7r old non verbal son always needs time to adjust to new surroundings. So we will either make a short visit to "see" first. Even if its just to the door and peek in. This helps with his anxiety. When we have family from out of state visit , I will accompany him to greet each person. Then allow him to leave the area. He will go to another room. And come in and out as he feels comfortable. By day 3 he interacts easily on his own. Hes sensory. Does not like high pitch sounds or voices. So everyone knows not to talk in high tones especially to him. He will cover his ears with his hands.. We have learned by much trial and error regarding difficult, aggressive or combative behavior. Troubleshooting is key. What did he eat? When was the last time he had a bowel movement, check fingers for splinters etc. He may have a stomach ache or headache. He cannot express internal pain. Which makes it even more difficult. JT has gut issues, leaky gut and does not tolerate dairy at all. He self regulates by smelling new foods. ( I thought it strange too but it works for him ). Diet is really a biggie. Try and buy organic. Stay away from processed foods, junkie-snack foods. Alot of gut harming ingredients esp for kiddos with gut issues. He only drinks Fiji water. Its known to help with detoxing. Remember our kiddos are intelligent. Just because they can't talk doesn't mean they don't understand or can't think. We talk to JT as we would a typical child. Hope this helps 🙏
A great book. "Ido in Autismland" by Ido Kedar. When I read this book it opened my eyes to see beyond the tics, outbursts, crying etc. Our children are very intelligent. Observant. Compassionate. Even though they dont speak. Our children are special. ❤
About his letters, if it has no relevance in his life he will not care. Dont teach him the alphabet like that. Teach him it by spelling his name. Christian on a board, and the magnetic letters of his name to match. Then tracing c, then h then r, and all the letters of his name. Then if his favorite snack is banana, that's the next word to do matching with. Then less preferred items. Then he will encounter outer letters. That learning the alphabet is useless to him

If you put paint in a clear ziplock bag he can even trace the letters on that for sensory play

I noticed those earring right away, very cute!!
Are you home schooling Cristian? I would like to homeschool my son
Ask his Bcba to implement a food program this will make sure that Christian is exposed to new foods
My autistic son hates the word no also. He will completely throw a tantrum if he can't get his way.
Very common 😔
Great job with the school work, cant wait to see Christian with the new baby

@@mrsdewdrop9678 you can get worked up to the point it causes stomach pain and gut issues too.
Good video

Teach him it by spelling his name. Christian on a board, and the magnetic letters of his name to match. Then tracing c, then h then r, and all the letters of his name.

Then less preferred items.
