Weekend up and downs

Ment to write sooner, but when my son is in a manic way, it takes all of my time. So basicaly he was utlta cycling. One mood changed to the next. Impulse control was off. I felt I was riding a unicyle in heels up hill.

I made sure we had family time, and he had one on one time and that he got to go to a friends house Friday night. My down time was when he went to the pool with my boyfriend. That helped a little.

So now I am working on lists and goals once again. One of the things my son has a hard time with is impulse control and the second responsiblity for action.

So for impulse control, when he gets a thought that he feels he has to do, he needs to talk about it first. such as "why do you need to run around the apartment complex? Why do you feel it would be a great idea to draw on the walls with my lipstick/marker? So when we talk about it first I he is less likely to follow through with his idea that will get him into trouble. ( running around the complex wouldn't but with his squirt gun yes).

So impluse control times into responsible for actions, if it seems like a great idea and you know in the back of your mind you could get in the slightest trouble it may not be the best thing to do.

I will go into more detail later. Running out of time.
