At lunch today, Kailyn asked several times for help peeling her orange, but help was not immediately available. She did not become frustrated and, initially, announced, "I save this for snack?" Her teacher agreed that she could do that, but Kailyn continued to stare at her orange - clearly not wanting to give up on it. Again, she approached her teacher (who was tending to a child not feeling well) and asked, "You push in on this part?" Her teacher told her that that would be a way to peel it. Kailyn went and sat down, still studying her orange. Slowly, Kailyn began to work on her orange and, began to peel it. Although it took her quite some time, she was clearly proud of her accomplishment.
Kailyn is beginning to show an ever-increasing ability to withstand frustration, to focus on difficult or challenging tasks, and trouble shoot problems.
