Joys of Outbursts

It was therapy day for the littles.   Before the little man could go back for his appt. he decided he was not doing it and we were leaving.  He had quite the meltdown trying to make me leave.  He threw rocks at the windows, acted like he was going to break the wipers on my car, hitting and kicking.  I managed to mostly keep my cool.  And I told him....we all had appts and while he did have control over whether he had an appt., he did not have control over the rest of us.  And I left him sitting on the car. The Children's Center called the mobile crisis team from CCS. 
After awhile he calmed down and came in and sat with me.  The little woman had brought some stuffed animals out to the lobby, so he played with them.  And eventually he took a hydroxocene from me.  The crisis team arrived and we just chatted for a bit.
The little woman made her own safety plan.  And that seemed to help her.  We now need to implement it. The home specialist came for his appt. and he talked with her about it.  She had it down pat and could tell him every bit of it.  He reminded me to keep checking in with her and her feelings. 
The little man had another small blowup in the early evening and then promptly fell asleep.  I could tell he was tired because he was trying to fall asleep in the car when we were going to get a pizza.
