Just watched part of last night's video. People, please don't listen to him when it comes to setting goals for your loved ones with a disability (or any kid for that matter). You want to set ATTAINABLE goals for them to reach, not UNREALISTIC ones. Setting unrealistic goals will not help them. It will make them only more frustrated and less likely to achieve what you want them to. No teacher or therapist would ever go along with setting goals that are not attainable. It's literally in the description for writing things like IEP's. Goals are to be very specific, attainable, and measurable. I have not watched the whole video yet, but this could very well be a reason he butts heads with a lot of professionals. Working on my son's anxiety wasn't just taking him to theme parks/restaurants etc for "exposure". We took very calculated baby steps and worked our way up. Setting REALISTIC short term goals which he could then feel good about achieving (I could tell visibly that he was proud of himself for these small accomplishments, and his efforts were rewarded with both praise and tangible reward if desired). Even the Exposure Therapy he talks about sets small, attainable goals to accomplish regularly. Yes, the END goal was to be able to run errands and just be able to do life with our son. How we got there was very thoughtfully designed between us and our therapists.

The lipstick was waxy and awful. I liked the brow pencil well enough but it broke in like 3 or 4 weeks. Lesson learned.
