“𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐧𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚 𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐤𝐨 𝐬𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐧𝐚 𝐭𝐨”

I started this when my 5 year-old son then was officially diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) 3 years ago. At first,my purpose was to raise awareness about autism and to find communities that could understand the struggles of being an ‘ausome mom’( the term I learned from these communities which means a mom with an autistic kid).

But as time goes on I don’t feel anymore the need to show the “struggles“and the “big and small wins”. I help and supported my child in silence. I carry my frustrations in silence. I celebrated his small wins in silence. I accepted and embraced his condition in silence.

Alam kung malayo pa pero sobrang saya ko kasi sa loob ng 3 years ngayon lng kami nakatanggap ng ganitong feedback mula sa teacher ng anak ko. Parang gusto kung maiyak kasi ang tagal kung hinintay to,pingarap ko lng to🥹. Iba kasi kapag nasanay ka na puro reklamo at problema ang natatanggap mo mula sa school ng anak mo.

Sino dito na yung mga LO nila ay very possessive at seloso?
Ayaw na ayaw na may ibang lumapit sa fave teacher niya o kaya sa therapist niya 😅😅
Mababago pa kaya 'to?

Just a little reminder to every parents, especially ausome ones out there. What a great timing! Just dealt with it this morning.🌈

Thank you Mrs Speechie P ☺☺

🌈 When we say, "Stop crying!" "calm down" -> just like if someone told YOU to "calm down" when YOU'RE upset, they're gonna explode MORE, longer, harder.
🌈 When we say, "FINE! One more episode of Elmo" -> your kid learned next time they should tantrum harder, + longer to get that Elmo.

The key to taming tantrums?
✨АССЕРТ THEM✨

Here's your 🌪️ script:
✨ SEE THEM: "I hear you really want more iPad time NOW."

✨ OK THE FEELING: "It's ok to feel mad/sad that iPad time is over for today."

✨ BOUNDARY: "We will have more iPad time tomorrow." Notice how "allowing the tantrum" doesn't equal "allow them to have anything they want." They're allowed to ask, and we're allowed to hold boundaries. Support them through their upset feelings.

You'd be SHOCKED by how simply saying, "I see you're feeling mad/sad. That's tough." Can be a game changer in and of itself.

And, while there are TONS of tricks that dramatically shorten tantrums, they will NEVER go away entirely- they're actually healthy. Wait WHAT?! "How could a tantrum be healthy? It's an inappropriate way to deal with feelings/ wanting something!"

Here's the DL on those toddler tantrums:
🧠 Their brains haven't yet formed the areas that help manage emotions
🌪️ Since they don't have strong language and/or emotional regulation skills yet, they express through their bodies
⚡️Their concept of time is totally different, so they can't understand why something can't happen RIGHT NOW
✨Toddlers have a lot of emotion and energy and, just like adults, need a HEALTHY release in the way of crying

Thanks Big Little Feelings for this post and caption!

"Malayo pa PERO MALAYO NA"

I thought this day will not come or maybe wait for how many years that I could witness one of his milestones. Eight months ago,the doctor asked us if it's okay for us that he will be behind with his peers because of his diagnosis. With a heavy heart and in my mind thinking "Do I have a choice?",I answered the doctor "Yes" as long as we could give my child the help and support he needs.

His doctor advised us to give him OT and when his ready, that's when he will be enrolled for SpEd class. So at first we thought of dropping his class in the public school and giving it a rest and wait until his ready,as what the doctor said.

But I did different. Yes,we right away signed him up for his regular therapy but I don't want to wait and I believe in my child, so I transferred him to a private SpEd class.

👏👏He did well and I know he did his very best to be not defined by his diagnosis. Next school year, in God's grace, he will be mainstreamed to a regular class.

Congratulations to my son , My Extraordinary Sky ,for reaching this milestone in his life. It may not be grand for others but for me, "Every small win is a Big Win".😊

"Malayo pa pero MALAYO NA"💪
