Psychologist Meeting

I met a psychologist today at Casa Colina that will work with us every other week. Today we talked about John, his progress, and his struggles. She reminded me that as we see progress, we will also see him enter a new developmental level, which could include behavior changes and struggles. She stressed that although these struggles could be difficult, it is a good thing because it is a sign that he is developing. He needs to have time to develop the understanding at each level of development. He has to go through each stage, both strengths and struggles. She said it's important to not always worry about the big picture, but to also take in each step, and rejoice with each accomplishment, even if it brings a new set of problems & struggles (because most likely, it will).
