You'll always be OvarianAroma to me Baawawaa

Next month our consultant will be coming here for a day to sort of help me get more into the hang of RDI. I still feel as positively as ever about it, and the theory I get completely - yet - I just am struggling with the application. It seems to all be common sense when you begin to learn about it, but the more you learn, the more you realize you need to learn, it's hard to explain. I can say that Vince is most definately doing better with RDI, but the RDI I have been doing with him has more than anything just been my newfound awareness of the 'wiring' behind the behaviors, and, that awareness makes me respond in a way better for him (and me!). Also, the activity I have most been doing with him has not even been the games/exercises but it has simply been me speaking to him with 'guidance' rather than 'instruction'. Your consultant can better explain that, but basically as I understand it, you don't say (for instance) "hey, knock it off!" instead you say, "hey, how about if we do this instead" - so basically I talk to him like he was my bosses kid instead of my kid.

He is getting better at being flexible for sure! His confidence is better - oh this is a good one. Remind me that if Vince becomes a Rapper, to never be in the audience.....here's what happened, some kid at school got mad cause Vince would not hand over his tree branches that he likes to carry around and watch blow. So, the kid got ****** and said, "oh yeah, fine, well your mom is ugly and fat" and instead of getting angry, Vince did something amazing....he did not get angry...he was not baited...and he even stuck up for me:

Vince: Oh yeah, well my mom IS ugly and fat, but I love her anyway!

Wow, thanks Vince....gotta go, I have to go develop belemia now, lol!
