Rough therapy

OT went great today. ST was a nightmare. His therapist has a book with a bear drinking a glass of milk. She wanted Jack to say milk. Jack of course said no and refused. So she decided not to move onto anything else and until he said milk. Jack of course still gets upset. Of course I and the therapist did not give in. He started to get even more upset. I actually started becoming scared. Jack was kicking and wailing around,shaking his head back and fourth. I tried to get him to say milk and he just would scream no. Then when I tried to calm him down it was like he was somewhere else.....He wouldn't look at me not once. Finally after therapy was over He gave his therapist a half smile and whispered bye bye. Then all he wanted was for me to hold him like a baby and rock him. He's finally sleeping like an angel. when he has a bad therapy session it breaks my heart and makes me feel guilty like I am being a bad mom.

here I am relieved therapy is over for the week and crossing my fingers that therapy is better next week.
