We made it

I have been struggling with Elliot and his 4 year old ness and possibly a testosterone surge since Tristan's birthday. The tantrums were explosive and angry. The words that came out of his mouth were unkind and hurtful. And he would flare up at the drop of a hat. We have been working on helping him with this and he has been praying about it. As have we. We made a behaviour chart - one particularly bad day I was feeling very low humiliated, embarrassed and defeated by his anger and it's outworking that I thought return to what you know. So we put a chart on the bathroom door and he had to get ten days In a row of not exploding at me and he got to go to chipmunks indoor play centre. If he stuffed up we were back to zero. The Stakes were high but to his credit he rose to the challenge and did it. His behaviour has been great. Not perfect but great since.


Here we are celebrating.
