We needed to depart from the schedule – such as it is – today. Ben woke with a variety of concerns – he did not want to go to his art class, he would have to rush back for his flute lesson, he would have too much homework, and then in the evening his brother was attending an event he wanted to go to but would not be able to.
Rather than the usual slate, we spent some time working on a technical skill that he has wanted to acquire. We figured it out and then he was able to use it to produce something for his favorite website. He got some control over his day – and it put him in the right frame of mind for his afternoon. Most of his concerns went unrealized and he ended up having a good day.
