April 5

On 5 April, we had a parent meeting with PF and were surprised to hear that K had emotional outbursts every day. That behaviour is very different than at home. During that meeting, we discussed some triggers, and focused on frustration finishing work. As parents, we also notice that K will refuse help with a meticulous task when it’s obvious she is struggling, and her reaction seems out of proportion with the task at hand (i.e. threading a needle, building with Lego, etc.). We also discussed finding a counselor, but having sought support for our son ZGB, we knew this would not be an easy task. As we were of the mind that we needed to work on “emotional outbursts”, we set out to work on this with K at home, and keep an eye on things if it turned out she did need professional help.
