Boundaries tagging

Blossom is doing very well with her tag in place In fact so well, she's doing college, little bits of buying things in a shop and showing appropriate responses to family. This sanction, severe as it is, has been a shock She's 'felt' something Could she be healing? Changing? Getting better?

maybe that and the fact she is getting older, mine is 18 now and we have come so far in these last two years I can hardly believe how bad it used to be.

Mum24 I think getting older is part of it Certainly moving beyond puberty is a huge help

I guess being able to feel 24/7 that someone is watching over you, I mean feel in a physical sense...the extra weight on her leg, the pressure on her skin is a physical reminder at a very basic level. She has no choice if she removes it then big time consequence, so she has no choice but to comply and I guess that feels safe to her. A window of opportunity for some healing methinks :)

Just the tag isn't enough The backing of the horrors of court and youth detention Has sent the message home more She's had curfews etc but none have had affect Hoping this has put strong enough a boundary in before prison Just praying she holds on

hope it lasts - will she need to test the boundary at some point?

I think the tag is just a form of containment, but if it keeps her safe then it is well worth it. With disturbed vulnerable children childrens rights are a joke. How can it be caring to allow a child freedom if they then end up in danger? Hope that something positive comes out of this for your family and blossom and that it relieves the stress of day to day living.

Pear Tree very best wishes to you all. I am so glad the tag is helping Blossom to hold it together. I so hope this continues and that it allows Blossom some safe maturing time. Long may this peace hold. Phoebe x

PT have you and blossom discovered the ultimate solution for our kids? you should get copy right and then train SS in the use of the "blossom" technique

Really not sure if there's 1 single element working But maybe combination of physical exercise and feeling attentive in the real world as a result Or Finally having enough of a team round us where some of them have started to understand blossom and therefore our lives with her. It's been nice to sit in nicer meetings for a change that's for sure
