No more hiking for Liam

Liam has been having such a difficult time with the sensory hiking program this time around. I'm not sure what's different, but I know I drop $60 every time and hear how horrible he was to the other kids. Liam is obviously miserable there, so we pulled him We are going to try play therapy again and look for another social skills group closer to home, (hiking was an hour away and took all day....no Saturday for anyone else, kwim?

I'm relieved actually, we get our weekend back, and I can try a different approach. The bad language has become a real issue again and he just seems so stressed in general. Anger in Liam always come from anxiety. I have a referral to a decent play therapist, and I plan to give the social skills group a call.

Dee,


It's a pity the hiking didn't work out this year, but you are right to pull him if he isn't happy. It might be something he can go back to when he is a bit more settled in himself.


I think the play therapy is a great idea.
