The team decided last night that Aditya has come far enough that he needs new goals!
The team also figured out where Aditya has the biggest challenge. He is stuck when faced with unstructured situations, and especially around peers. So his new Son Rise program goal is, inspiring him to be flexible (and spontaneous) within a variety of activities including those where we do not provide a structure, and he has to provide an input into creating that structure! This can be a challenge for even us, his parents and program team members, because until now, we have been going in with themes and activities to get him interested, after which we then build, request, inspire growth, etc. The new challenge would be to take a step back, and act purposefully passive for a bit longer... so that he gets a chance to spontaneously offer something to do!
Aai-Baba got a chance to go to the playroom and work on this new goal right away with guidance from Son Rise program teacher Becky, and then got spot-on feedback as well.
One more dual session to help him handle two (or more) peers at a time.
And then, one more big news... Aditya used the bathroom! (He did send his facilitator Michelle into a time out so he could do this private business with utmost comfort... and that's cool at Son Rise house!)
