He needs a playarea!

Because I am sick of chasing after him into the paddock because he's seen the sheep and given chase :mad:
Two days in a row now he's done it and I'm over it... I felt like just leaving him out there.
Yesterday I managed to coax him back after 30 mins or so without bringing Tristan outside, but today Tristan was screaming for his feed. He needs somewhere he can play safely outside so that I dont have to worry about him taking off!

He's not attention seeking, he's very independant. Somedays I cant even talk to him without him getting frustrated with me. Yesterday he took his frustration out on Tristan and hit him in the face with his toy.

He's been like this for months and its getting worse... well not really worse i've just given up... I'm sick of doing all the therapies and not seeing improvement in his behaviour. He needs a more structured therapy lesson.... one designed to suit his needs, not just the general program.
Actually I havent even heard from the new speechie yet... or from the OT in a while... which is probably part of the reason he's doing this **** again.

Before anyone says that its because Tristan is here, its not, if you were here you could see that. If only I could accurately put into words what Brendan is like on a daily basis and has been like for over a year now, you may get a general understanding of the siuation. For some of you I can some this up in 3 words... Sensory Integration Dysfunction.

:hug: It must be so hard especially with a new baby on top of everything. Is you DH able to construct some sort of an outdoor area that is secure for him to play in and not escape from?

We have the plans all in place for a playarea to be built as an add-on to the house. So I will be able to see him from the loungeroom window and he can then come and go, in and out as he pleases.

BUT it's organising the help and materials to do it, we've got to build up a pad to level out the ground with the house (we are on stumps) and its going to be a major operation.

I spoke to DP's managers wife and she's going to talk to her OH and see if they can do something durin work hours next week. So fingers crossed.
