Locked In

In our old house, it was a habit to never hang the door key on the door for fear that Raiyan may lock himself in the room but is unable to unlock it back. Our door style both in the old house and the new house has the lock looking like this:


So it's the type that you can easily lock but once the key is a bit out of place, it would be hard for a child to get it back into the right position to unlock it back.

Which was precisely what happened to Raiyan this morning! Unfortunately, since we moved to our new house, we had forgotten about this previous rule and had the bathroom door key hanging there all this time. We haven't had such an incident in the 4 months that we've been here so I was quite horrified when Nur told me that Raiyan has locked himself in and was crying away not being able to get out.

Alhamdulillah, we managed to calm him down and told him to take the key out and then hand it to us under the door which he understood after a few times Babah tried to tell him. As soon as we opened the door, you can literally see the utter relief on his face and the poor thing said "I was scared I couldn't unlock the door".. Let's hope he's learnt his lesson and won't be trying that again anytime soon!

Awww! The same thing happened to Aaro last Xmas, when we were in Lapland (like now) but the difference was that the key did not fit under the door. Luckily another key from another room opened the door and he got out :)

Hi honey! it's so scary isn't it?! I was so scared that Jeff had to climb into the window from outside the house ( we didn't have a spare key)! But luckily Raiyan understood what we were saying (He didn't pre-therapy though!) and did what we told him :D

Daim has started doing this too B! The locks at home are pretty easy to lock and unlock - which is a bad thing but a good thing jua coz he can unlock himself easily except when hes being cheeky and will only open up after much persuasion.

Oh poor boy! Even I would get scared being locked alone.

PURPOSE:Hoping for more understanding and less judgment from all.

 To show the importances of early intervention and an evidence based treatment to help reach the full potential of the child.

 Offering other parents hope to have faith in the positive progress of their child.

Amin.
