When you have to correct LO

ClarkEb

My LO is certain her home is across the street and will head that way from time to time. The only distraction is to offer a ride home. Works. I know we are not supposed to correct lo’s, but how can you tell your LO that that house and others are not their home with out creating a stressful situation…

Kind of an odd question. Thank you.

"Come with me" works for me, especially when I take her hand. A woman told me yesterday we were "a beautiful couple" and probably thinks we're still in love, but I'm actually leading her.

I hope there are great answers for this one. I haven't found any

Unfortunately, there is no answer. In her mind it’s her home. If you told her otherwise she won’t understand or remember. You could try a fib and say the house is being worked on and you’re staying there until it’s finished. You’ll have to repeat the fib every day. If it’s due to sundowning, there are tips like closing the blinds before dark, turn on bright lights and put on music she likes. Try a treat like ice cream.

My BF use to think the house down the street was hers. Her husband would have her call me and I would reinforce she was in the right place . Then we would talk about how wonderful her husband is and how great the room she is in. It calmed her down but she always believed she was in someone else’s house. Hang in, Sandi
