Mummies , hav u heard of PECS? what do u think of it? U think is good ?

If I am not wrong, PECS is useful for younger kids and for children who are non verbal.

There are useful pictures in PECS website which you can print out, make it into a sequence and tell your kids how to brush teeth, go toilet etc. I find them useful.

My son attends normal childcare and eipic center. He dislike going CC. Sometimes quite heartpain to send him to CC. But no choice, he needs to get use to it. Cos thats wat a normal environment is like. He needs to learn how to adapt.


But on his EIPIC days,he would love to go EIPIC. I do believe small student teacher ratio will aid the child. But its also important to let them get used to typical environment.

Now after a while, he is still uncomfy in his CC, but slowly can see he is adapting. I hope one day he will loves going to his CC soon.

my son just recenlty like to go to see cc, so i duno shld i change anot.. jus tat cc enviroment is actually no good to him ... esp for ASD , cus due to large group if you not listening to story tats it... they will jus leave u, they will focus on those who listen.. just for one example...
or if i say NO, u dun listen, teacher will jus give up and let u be la.. so there all adverse effect coming along...

Hi helplessmum,
How are you? Not a very good day for you too?
Me too today my boi naughty and fussy so I \"bochap\" him very angry don't \"hew\" him for a while. He cried when he saw I bochap him and then he tried to be obedient be quiet because he knew mummy very angry with him.

Quite depressing when things don't really go well in the day and hard to handle our boys ya?

But today I really ta boleh tahan so in the afternoon told my husband I need to pray and then lie down on bed for a couple of hours to rest. My boi came to lie down on the bed beside me and he rested too.

Now he is sleeping nicely already.

You also get a good rest ok?

[helplessmum3]

Pray ? Hiaz been praying … All this are God plan one mah… Y HE so unfair …

same here. dd3 has been throwing tantrums during this period. everything is ‘no, no, no’. doesnt want to wear clothes she doesnt like, doesnt want to step into the shopping centre, doesnt want to go shower, doesnt want her lunch/dinner, doesnt want to do deskwork … and when she doesnt want something, she shouts and hits her head hard with her hands.


the whole process of getting her to calm down and doing her daily essentials (not even talking about anything additional on top of essentials) can be exhausting …

[helplessmum3]

ImMeeMee.

Oh nO. What happen? Is she unwell? What did her OT advise in such situation how shd u handle her?

If she shout or yell, u try to ignore her then once she cool down . U try to tell her firmly n calmly of what u want her to do again.

However I made use of pictures material (similar to PECS) do to schedule/sequence board for helping my kid to get to bed and potty training.

I got my material from this website.

Have you all attended this session conducted by KKH called \"Signpost\"? Its about managing difficult behaviour in children. It can be applied to special needs / NT children.

I think somehow my kid is better behave after I went through this course. It teaches us how not to give in to the kid when they are behaving badly, only rewarding them on good behaviour, preempting family activities and watch out for ques when they are going to flare tantrums.

Last time, for a while, we dare not even dare to dine out cos my son will just walk out of the restaurant after finishes his meal or will hide under the table. :imdrowning:

These few weeks we managed to dine out successful *phew* without him throwing any tantrums. I am still learning the process. Its not a foolproof method but it somehow helps to minimize the occurrence.
