This is carried over from Dishpan Dribble when Tink was about 8 years old. She couldnt even read Madeline because of her problems. Her sensory processing at that time was about a 5 or 6 year old level. These old posts are not dated right because of the transfer from the old blog.

That sounds like some of the meltdowns my two with SID have. <br /><br />I do have to say though, that I probably wouldn't have given a Madeline book to a girl Tinks age. The Madeline books seem to be on a preschool-K level. Perhaps, Tink thought you were giving her a "baby" book to read? <br /><br />I totally agree that you couldn't give in! Good job holding your ground. <br /><br />Maybe you could ask Tink why she didn't want to read the book when she has calmed down. I'd tell her that you didn't catch how much it upset her before she was too far into the meltdown, and apologize. Kids need to hear that we make mistakes too. I've heard that there are some easy readers with content that is more interesting for older children.Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695033834014965060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303029425179583246.post-49494790716334557712009-07-09T10:49:53.757-07:002009-07-09T10:49:53.757-07:00Thank you for sharing your day with us.

I'm so glad she's home with you so she can have the kind of childhood and learning environment she needs. I hope today is much better!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004651720352605486noreply@blogger.com
