So pleased hun, was worrying for you.

Big hugs too ((((hugs)))))

As typing just read that you train re agreessive or challenging behaviour. Lol, prob not quite same but did same when training as foster carer (not one now, had 2 bed house then, fell preg after 10 yrs of trying.)

We were taught to hug them tight, whisper in ear, something like, it's okay, you are loved/worth something ..., they'd end up sitting on my lap, me on floor with knees bent under me. Very loving way to diffuse situation, safe/loving for children, couldn't hurt me or themselves. They would always 'calm' down, come for hug afterwards. Bless,

Hi everyone!

Went to see bro yesterday, still has remains of black eye, on a/biotics for split lip but in the main okay. Confused bless, keeps saying, "I'm not allowed to eat in the dining room. Better not come near me, I'm dangerous." then lucid, thanks us, says his wife is awesome, I'm wonderful. I just tell him, no-one attacks me, or my family, like red flag to a bull. I'll always protect but as a lady.

Bless, I just so luv my bro. Miss him too.
