Planning can get you to places. Get you to places at the right times. Sometimes planning can get you to places when the weather is nice.
Planning can get you out of the daily routine. Walking on an island in the North Sea is a much needed break from the usual daily routine. That’s good for Hawklad, for Me.
Planning is going to be the key going forward.
To push the boundaries out just a little bit further.
Hawklad wants to see a bit more. Experience a bit more. But his anxieties are spiking again. It’s going to be a challenge. More planning is required.
So can we plan a quiet day trip to another country next.

I think it is wonderful that Hawklad feels the desire to discover and visit places in a further range. I am sure, it will help him to overcome his anxieties slowly and step by step a little better. I hope that the trip to Switzerland is not too far away anymore!

It’s a balancing act. I worry that this year will be too soon for him with travelling in Europe. But if he’s ready as we are going by car, it should be quick to sort out.

Yes, I could imagine that. You give him the time he needs anyway and that alone makes him more confident. He will be so proud of himself and that will a the big leap for him to overcome his restrictions.

Don’t I know it spending 3 weeks with my autistic granddaughter with severe learning disabilities. Every minute of my daughter’s life is determined by her. She is the must courageous woman I know.

Planning works sometimes. Spent weeks planning a work programme out then on the day the chap forgot to take my plan and went off script . At least I had the satisfaction of reading the incident report when it went wrong 🤣🤣🤣

I know it’s not legal there, but I bet cannabis would help Hawklad’s anxiety. My younger daughter had horrible anxiety after her dad left. She dropped out of school. Rather than get her pills, I let her try cannabis. She was 14 at the time.
It has really helped her. She still has occasional panic attacks but she knows how to ground herself and regulate her breathing to get through them.
Meanwhile… keep planning 😉 I can’t wait to see NEW photos on a Swiss Sunday!!
