Good morning!!

Well, I got Harry ready today.

He got up straight away and got dressed in his room. He was even proud of how he got up so fast. He ate his while bowl of cereal (fruit cheerios) and drank a full juice. I showed him his lunch and he was quite excited.

He put his two stuffed toys in his bag to sleep in the bag and stay with him. Off he went, very proud of his ability to get himself to the bus stop and get to school.

He was just as easy to get ready the day before. Two good days in a row.

His diet over the last few days has been great. He also got to sleep last night by 8.30pm. He had a story read to him and played a little while before hitting the sack.

I really seeing that having a consistent routine which includes a diet that he enjoys and will eat has made a big difference to his behaviour.

I have also made sure that when talking to him I am absolutely calm - almost stoic - when we discuss any inappropriate behavior. I know my getting upset with him verbally triggers withdrawal and he will rush to Julia. Trying so hard to not lose my patience or temper with him.
