my 25 year old. brother is severely autistic and had 4 brain surgery's as such my careing skills are different. some of these things we (me and my mom) let him do because of his disability some is because its a right of passage for kids to do. what do you let your kids do (please make it in list format and explain why).
1. running butt naked (even infront of company). if hes more comfortable that way i shud i put clothes on him? and btw we have all wood floors so pee and poop wipe up easily. (were still working potty training.)
2. scream and shout. if he can't or won't talk he screams (i only allow this in the house) all he wants.
3. throw food. if its bad i say we have a food fight.
4. drawing on EVERYTHING walls, floors, NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS. i encourage his imagination.
5. paint on us (with washable body paint) and the walls. see #4
6. junkfood everyday all day. my son is a picky eater so if he eats anything im so happy. (i give him a multivitamin to make up for all that he lost).
7. eat with his hands. its SUPER SUPER MESSY but he loves it.
8. were mis matched clothes in public.

9. haveing "messy bath's" we get them off of Pinterest sencery baths for kids.
10. sleep with me. (hes got his own room) but if he wants to sleep with me he can.
11. jump on furniture and beds. (he has a trampoline and mini trampoline in his room) its just he likes to jump on furniture ?.
12. play in mud. ANYWHERE. sure i was late taking him to his ABA but we had a blast getting soaked. btw. he went in to his ABA dripping mud the other kids and adults looked at us like we were crazy. (ok only some did) a couple of his teachers said "will its good he's having fun.?????.
13. pee in the shower. (if i can get him to pee i will (he once peed on the floor while i was cleaning up after arts and crafts i said (in my happyist voice i could) i said "buddy wow you made a bid peepee lets get you cleaned up"
14. baby talk . if he understands it better. I'll do it.
