Well... we've got through til Thursday ... no major meltdowns since Wednesday morning! There never was an apology for the mornings behaviour - but sometimes...it's best just to let it die - I hope. Really had a crappy day and didn't feel like fighting that battle too.
So today is Thursday - access day. Family get to spend time with Miss 12...and without fail she comes home in a terrible mood and it takes days to sort! So we are trying another approach - Thursdays is the day off asking her to do anything...
She has volunteered to help with dinner and is out there now. But can't push it - if she changes her mind...it's a Thursday - any Thursday without a meltdown is progress.
She is beating chicken at the moment. Making it flat for schnitzel. "This chicken is *****" (*** name of student from her school). I'm beating ****, **** called me dumb. Bitch."
Well...one way to get your anger out! Maybe we have been wrong about Thursdays behaviour! Maybe it is school related. Also worked out she has a reliever teacher on a Thursday.
So...what is causing the Thursday meltdowns - may not be as straightforward as first thought.
