Hello all.
My 5 year old has non-spastic hemiplegia, a form of cerebral palsy. Though mild, it also affects her emotionally. We are very patient parents, can sit through 30 minute tantrums keeping cool heads and voices, and are very pro-active about trying to avoid such tantrums (10 minute warnings before leaving fun events, smooth distractions to avoid transition surprise, etc.). We rarely, if ever, give in to her tantrums.
But our daughter is a huge social bug. Anytime she is parted from friends, it's the end of the world. She has tantrums that last over 45 minutes at least 5 times a week. Leaving school is almost always difficult. Coming in for dinner after playing outside is also difficult. She has a "perfect" record of throwing a tantrum every time we leave the swimming pool.
Anyway, I'm looking for a good child behavior therapist in Bangkok who can work with our family (we also have a 3 year old son with no worrisome issues). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
