Happenings

February 23, 2022

Today’s session started after 4:00 pm and was a bit difficult since Mei was a bit frustrated after school. In aunty Ann’s session today we weren’t allowed inside the room with her. Mei didn’t do well with this and began crying. Even after we were allowed to see her she was still unsettled.

Mei did not want to be in the therapy room at all. Aunty Ann stated that Mei managed to complete the tasks given but was trying to avoid doing them.

Aunt Ann mentioned that she would need Mei to get used to her, so in the coming session the lessons may need to be done downstairs until she is comfortable. She also mentioned that Mei will most likely cry or throw a tantrum in order to avoid doing work and we would have to bear with her and let her handle it.

Another tactic that the therapist said she would do is incorporate some of her toys that should spark Mei’s interest such as bubbles etc.
