As difficult as this might be to record it sure that you help a lot of people that might be in the same situation... staying as calm as possible is a great advice... thanks for sharing.
That was our thought as well. Most people will understand
GABRIELA MEDEROS i understand that your loving and amazing parents and I believe your really helping others
I have a boyfriend who is autistic and he's more on the high functioning end (but he's verbal) and the two of us bond every time we see each other.... I like to watch videos discussing autism so I can learn to help my boyfriend out in the future
Ugh that was a tough one ... like really tough.. my heart felt that... but so important to share to continue to spread awareness ❤️ it’s tough for me as an outsider/teacher to see this when my students go through this I can’t even begin to imagine how it feels as a parent to almost feel helpless ... but both of you David and Stacey are perfect examples of what is needed in times like this ❤️ sending love and positive vibes for a more regulated start to the week.
Helpless is a very accurate description. We know she’s been doing so well lately, but times like these can still happen and we wanted to share that too (just not the actual meltdown of course). We have come pretty far navigating her meltdowns via experience, it hasn’t always been so pretty. ❤️ so far today was good!!
Calm and patient.....well said David, that's exactly how I approach days like that. Like you said, we learn from each experience and get better at predicting and handling future situations. Hope tomorrow is a better day 💖
Today was a better day. But days like that she can be so easily set off that it’s the best approach.
Poor Braylee. I'm glad to see her trying to self-regulate. I can only imagine how difficult it must be when you watch your beloved daughter go through this. Being positive isn't easy here, and I don't see anything wrong with being negative just for a moment out of concern. I will say, however, that I give you kudose for focusing on the positive over all, and I can tell Braylee appreciates it. We're all here supporting you. :)
Poor girl. I can’t begin to imagine what any of this would feel like, not knowing specifically what’s wrong and not being able to express what’s wrong.
Hugs and good vibes sent to all of you ❤️
I know when she has meltdowns like this it can sometimes make me really sad because she is struggling so badly in that timeframe and has no control when she reaches full meltdown.
Yeah poor braylee, I hate having meltdowns too
God, you guys are such great parents! So aware of Braylee’s state of mind and carefully navigating the emotional and sensory minefield so she’s not additionally overwhelmed! My heart goes out to her when she’s so obviously struggling ❤️
It’s hard to watch, but she’s growing and getting better and we as parents are too!
This brought tears to my eyes because I understand. I am blessed that Kane’s meltdowns are far and few apart and that God has graced me with patience that I did not use to have. But I know you feel it to the bone and we want to fix it. Y’all are wonderful parents💕
You are right, it hurts as parents seeing our kids struggle. we are also very lucky that her meltdowns are not very frequent and haven’t been for a good bit of time.
Days like this are so tough. It’s so hard to see her so sad. Kenzlee often misses days of school because she has days like this as well, which we also only show glimpses. Being calm and patient is hard but so necessary. We have had a day like yours today and it’s exhausting. You two make a great team. 💙
Braylees days like this are usually caused by the lack of school. So we are hoping the weather holds out at least enough that she doesn’t miss more school from closures. It can be hard to stay patient but through trial and error we found it’s the best method for her meltdowns. Thanks! I couldn’t imagine doing it not as a team. Teamwork makes the dream work around here!
The Wee Family that has to be so hard with the weather issues! Sorry it was a rough day for you guys. Breaks in routine are so rough!
It was a tough weekend but the last two days have been good!!
The Wee Family so happy to hear it!
Sorry that she had a bad day.
On the brighter note, yay for seeing doggies and kitties in the background
Bad days are tough but there is always light and tomorrow is another day
Exactly. Yesterday she was back to her usual self. Now let’s hope they don’t have to close ABA for weather for a while
I’m so glad that you’re so patient and calm. I also like that you give her space and letting her do whatever that she needs to do to to get her feelings out.
"The more i interact with her the more upset she gets."
I feel this in my soul. My son has times like this, and I know how tough it is on you guys. Much love to all of you ❤
I have autism too, and having these channels ( Fathering Autism being another such channel) is a Great boost to the knowledge & Acceptance cause, the more true to life, and positive interaction videos all of you post, the better acquainted society is with us and how we are, the more accepting a society, the more peaceful it's people are to each other, and is what we all yearn for, if not for our lifetime, then for all those that follow us.
That’s a big part of why we do it. We want people to better understand and accept our daughter and others with Autism or disabilities. Even if we all make a small impact, it’s a step in the right direction
The meltdowns are the worst to experience you can't do anything but be in their presence and let them have th it moment and try try to not over react is the hardest to do when dealing with a child with autism. But bless their hearts cause they are the most loving and caring creatures God has ever created on this Earth. Their minds are so vast and outrageous that having a conversation with them for an hour or two will change your idea of life for good. I love working with them they are awesome people real diamonds in the rough. This little one is gonna be so amazing I can't wait to see her grow and become who she is meant to be thanks for showing us this amazing moment guys ❤️🙌
💕
My heart breaks for you guys, I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be your precious little girl so sad and distraught and not know how to help her. Brayly you are such a precious girl, stay strong angle
My ❤ go out to you & family. Your little girl is beautiful. Keep sing. Love you guys. Please keep send videos.
You know the world love you guys.
This is such an heartbreaking vlog to watch of brayly, just seeing her struggling with everything that autism carries must be so tough for all three of you. B most of all. You are such a strong, brave and special little girl B, keep fighting on.
Sometimes she struggles, but the good far outweighs the bad! 🙂
Thanks for sharing guys! I know first hand it's not easy to share the bad days! We look forward to your videos.
I know this had to been really hard I myself have 2 autistic kids heres my saying and hopefully it helps... autism it is hard it is scary it is sad it is fun but what matters the most is the love we have for our kids
Absolutely! We don’t have these days often, but man they can be tough. She’s getting back on track though 🙂
@@TheWeeFamily that's good to hear stay warm and safe cant wait to see more videos also I love love love the maass family gear your wearing in the video
I am a 23 year old with high functioning Asperger’s and I get bad panic attacks so I totally know what it’s like to have these episodes.
Staying calm and patience is always the best thing to do, because when you are in a meltdown you can't take anything more, and something small can make it worse. I always see our mind as a old computer that sometimes crashes because the amount of tasks we where given where to much our system can handle. When your computers crashes and you keep pushing buttons it only gets worse.sometimes you need to let it crash and step away from it, and eventually it will stop. After it stoped you can see what caused it to crash and how can be fixed ( I hope I explained it well, meltdowns are hard to explain to people who don't have them)
This is an older video but we have learned that interactions of any kind can just amplify things so we give her space and limit all stimulating things including sounds, lights and all that. She hadn’t had meltdowns in a while thankfully and she’s gotten better at self regulating 🙂
@@TheWeeFamily that's good to hear. Your wonderful parents, I hope you guys stay healthy and safe.
Hugs little one her sad little face. So hard for her to deal with so many things especially changes to her routines xxx Go mum and dad calm and chilled
Im so happy these are her parents, im 42 and im autistic and i live with my mom, she is understanding , like how you two are, i feel emotionally safe, i am filled with love watching your videos.
I’m happy that your mom it understanding! We hear often that people don’t experience that sadly. Being able to feel safe that way is so important ❤️
Y'all are kind and loving parents. Genuine and thoughtful. Thank you for sharing your lives, I know it encourages many. Much love & appreciation to you all. ❤🤗🤟
I have a son with similar diagnosis and a daughter with severe anxiety and depression and watching them and keeping yourself calm is so hard. Much love.
It’s definitely easier said than done, but it’s proven to be very helpful for us on those situations
My heart breaks for her and you 2. But you guys are so sweet and kind.
This exceptionally amazing child has some equally exceptionally amazing parents. She is so very blessed. Well done mom and dad!!
You are so kind! ☺️
You are great parents! So calm and patient and kind.
I appreciate that you did show this. I know every child is different. She is such a sweet girl. Hope she has a better day tomorrow.
She did have a much better day today. ❤️
Aw, poor thing. Braylee is such a beautiful girl. We all have bad days sometimes. I know I do. You can see your care for her, that’s all she needs at the end of the day. You guys are amazing, you’re the calm in the storm for her.
That’s what we hope for, to minimize her meltdowns and bad days. It’s nice to be able to be there to support her and help her through those. ❤️
We just had almost 5 years of progress erased this last week due to a haircut and our TV unexpectedly breaking. Whoosh, we're starting all over again with Completely quiet house and slowly adding things back in. Nonstop screaming over last week, holding. Ty, for posting. There are millions of parents who ARE surviving & experiencing what your family is going through. I salute you, remember no matter how crazy it gets we love our kids and do what we have to but also a whole community of us exist. Much prayer & love.
We really hope that it get better for you! We are all doing our best and parenting the best we know how. And the kids are SO worth it ❤️
@@TheWeeFamily yes! Today he is doing much much better ty. I'll keep your family in my prayers. 💛
you guys are great parents. just do your best. i have faith in you guys 😊
All of you do such a good job staying calm. I hope braylee is feeling better today❤.
She is 😄
I'm so sorry B had a bad day. But you both handle it with such patience and understanding. I love how you all interact together. What a sweet thing ❤
We have found through trial and error that giving her space and really limiting interaction during an actual meltdown is just best for everyone. We have had many experiences in the past where it just feeds into and escalates the situation.
You guys are doing the best, and most awesome job with Braylee. It’s heartbreaking to see her struggle like this, I cannot even begin to imagine what it’s like for you guys. Hang in there! I hope you think of us as your family’s cheer squad, cheering for the awesome job you do day to day, and cheering you on through testing/difficult/distressing and trying times-we know you both got this!!!!
Everyone needs that at some point or another. Support is always welcomed 💜
The back n forth n sudden,huge changes caused by the pandemic really affected my daughter tremendously. It's the hardest thing not knowing if something is hurting them, bothering them,if they want something. That's the toughest part for me.
You guys as parents are doing a great job. I’m so sorry there even is such a thing as autism . It must be hard not to know what is upsetting her and what will make her happy. She is the sweetest little girl and you are so good to her. Keep working on those words. They are coming and maybe soon she will be able to verbalize what she wants.. I give you thumbs up and wish you the very best. 💜
Love and respect from India guy's.
You two trying your best to comport her
❤️
Hugs to you all and I pray the good lord helps her through her bad days as best he can it's so hard on them .🙏🙏💖
Thank you for tastefully giving AaA glimpse of a rough day! You guys are amazing parents. It breaks my heart when our son struggles. Hugz to Braylee!
Hi, I have autism & when i have bad autism days, I like quite & no demands on me & take my time doing things. 😀
That seems to be helpful with Braylee as well 🙂
Thanks for keeping it real my heart is with you guy's,but by keeping it real it's teaching others so much about autism & how special B is & anyway who likes sudden changes I sure don't but ya know B has the best mom & dad ever & it's all going to be ok,you got folks who are pulling for you out here.
💕
Hi Perents, Hatts of to you both you are doing amazing job. She is really adorable, God bless her .. yes tomorrow is another day.. let's hope for best for our child. Proud to be a Super perents. 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for sharing….we try to manage similar meltdown behaviors on a very frequent basis as well! God bless you for your patience and perseverance! 🙏
It makes me sad to see B upset, I can’t imagine how it makes you guys feel. Love you guys
It can be hard but we know we will get through it eventually ❤️❤️
Aweee bless her heart 😔 Hope her day got better ❤ When she has a day like this do y'all give her time to stim to calm herself??? Omg you just answered my question lol. What kind of things do y'all try to redirect her?? I think y'all are amazing parents & doing a awesome job 🙌❤🙌I love her lil Laugh & giggles so sweet ❤
Today has gotten better! And thank you 🙂
When she gets in an actual meltdown, which wasn’t shown, we take her to a room with lights off, no sounds and really don’t talk or try to interact too much but stay with her and make sure she stays safe and give her the time to calm down.
I have watched blogs on autism for years just to improve my understanding of what it means and whilst all the postive blogs are fantastic and informative I think this has taught me more than any of them. You are amazing parents of a even more amazing little girl best wishes.
My brothers autistic as well so I understand het all the way. He is milder but no matter how severely or mild it is, it still and will always he HARD on THEM
We always say how as hard as it is for us, it is much harder for her:
Braylee was blessed to have you 2 as her parents as you 2 were blessed to have her as your little angel sent from God. Patience and understanding and lots of love is what I see here. It is hard to see little B so upset 😢 but thank God you 2 know how to get through these bad days and do everything you can to keep her happy and lots of love and hugs. Sending you all big hugs! Thank you for sharing this I know it must have been very difficult to do but it is a learning experience for me and others. 💕💜💕
She is the most amazing person we have the pleasure of knowing and we are luck that we get to be her parents. She’s the best 💜
You guys are a wonderful parents. May God blessed you guys.
Thank you for sharing the bad days as well💕😓 Hope B starts having a better week! We had one of those days yesterday so I feel your emotions hardcore on this one! Thanks for being such wonderful parents you’re not alone!❤️🧩
We know other people can relate and don’t want to seem like we edit our or don’t have struggles too. Today has been a better start to the week!
Completely understand💕 the day after was a little better but I definitely know where you’re coming from. Glad the week has started off better for Braylee! It’s so hard seeing our kids struggle and feeling like we just can’t do anything to help, just gotta keep moving’ on and being patient with them when the days aren’t going so well. It’s important for others that don’t live in the autism world to see the emotional turmoil it brings for everyone involved.
Absolutely! People who don’t live it need to see the different sides to better understand sometimes ❤️
My daughter gets like that alot. It used to be worse. Getting dressed in anything other than a disney princess dress would send her into a full on meltdown where she would throw herself on the ground, screaming kicking, hitting her head (scared me so bad). I had to physically pick her up n carry her out of the house. We were late all the time. I love how u guys deal with it. You're awesome. I love Carlos. He looks like my dog's mommy. His name is Snickers n he's a chihuahua/ chow mix (crazy right). The poor mom (the chihuahua) didn't make it through the childbirth, probably because she was so small n the puppies were too big. We adopted him from the people. We picked him out at 3 weeks n brought him home at 6 weeks.
Sometimes you pick your battles for sure and give them the extra time. Being rushed can sometimes just make matters worse because we notice Braylee feeds off that energy.
Aww that’s so sad 😢
lv the hat it’s hard rough days but like a wave you ride it out learn,grow keep going lv you singing so sweet you guys do amazing lv her mittens keep up being such great parents you inspire so many another great video
I love that Carlos is at the top of the steps looking at David like,"what's wrong with her daddy"?
You two are so great with her. I'm sure there are hard days for you as well as Braylee.
We all have our days but the good ones are generally more common
She's so beautiful.....it's not easy I've had my son 47 yrs....he has bad days too .....he can't speak ...it's hard when they can't tell u ..GOD BLESS YOUR PRECIOUS FAMILY,....
There are the bad times but also some really great and amazing moments too! It balances out. We all just do our best when they’re nonverbal and try to do right by them ❤️❤️
i totally understand how B feels, i have the same problem... i got autism, adhd and anxiety and i hate change of routine too, much love to you guys
Hoping for better days guys, poor thang. Mine is the exact way, and your right sometimes we just have to give them space. Lots of good vibes thanks for sharing even the hard times!❤ Hang in there Stace....
She is much better today, as long as we don’t have more weather closures she should be on the up and up
The stuggle is real, you guys are doing great!
Tell Bailey it's okay. Sometimes we have those days. I've got autism and when my schedule changes it Can be sometimes okay but sometimes it can become too much
I know how she feels. It could be that her sensory issues are overwhelming her on days that are out of her routine. I know for me my sensory issues can cause my meltdowns
Hugs from Indiana 🤗
Y’all are amazing people and wonderful parents 💕
My heart went out to you guys, but it's good that you share!! Prayers and hugs to all three of you!
That's what I try to stress to my husband. The calmer n more patient we are with her, the better she'll react n calm down faster. She has a yelling stim n sometimes it hurts his head n ears but I'm used to it because I stay home with her n he works full-time plus. I don't suppress her stims, either.
Poor Braley I like it when she's happy feel better sweetheart
❤️
Oh My heart ♡ For B - for you guys♡ You guys are so strong - I hope this doesn't happen too often ♡♡♡
We all in this together b
thanks for sharing. i love your guys advice ❤
I've learned through the years, working as a special needs para educator (still learning) that children with autism are very anxious and the more relaxed I am the better outcome my students have.
We have learned this as well and it’s been so much better
Aww poor Brailey . This was before I started watching your channel. She must get so frustrated because she can't explain what is bothering her. You are both doing a great job.
I imagine it can be so hard for her to know what she wants and not be able to communicate that.
Bad days are hard but when it's over and you see that cutest simile on her face, everything feels worth fighting for. Love ❤❤❤ Blessings🕉🕉🕉
Absolutely! She was back to herself today 😀
I was debating on watching the video, because I knew it was not going to be easy for me to watch & also I Truly Hurt when I see others do and this tore my Heart into pieces for Y'all...but I Do want more knowledge on Autism and get to know Y'all more! Oh but the way you too handled it....Beautifully....You two are Angels to a Brave Little Girl 💖💖Sending Lots of Love 💖💖
It is one of the harder parts of autism, but I know it can be useful and people can relate and need to know that our life isn’t always perfect too. And that even with days like that, we still have a good life! 💜
Great job!! It can be tough and it's hard when you can't express yourself!!
Hugs, good vibes and lots of praise and encouragement helps :)
We imagine that she must feel so frustrated.
She really likes to be in solitude/not interacted during the meltdowns but loves those things after she starts to calm down.
@@TheWeeFamily of course. I don't mean to shame or say you're doing something wrong. When she's upset let her calm down.
With any situation it's best to try and address early. If she's getting anxious from putting her shoes on offer lots of praise and encouragement so she won't perseverate so much on it being a bad thing.
It's those pre-meltdown times that are truly ideal to try and catch ;)
Maybe structured routing on home days would help her stay regulated. Does she understand visuals if you were to show her where she is going or what will happen next? If she is in speech they might be using a visual schedule with her that could be carried over to home. Good on you for letting her stim and do what she needs to to calm down. I can see how much you love her.
We will be making a video about this soon 🙂
She is exactly like my daughter. It’s so very sad to watch. It’s nice to know I’m not alone in this as a parent to a child with ASD ❤️❤️❤️❤️ LETSSSSS GOOOO WEE FAMILY!!!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Forgot to mention that she is beautiful!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
There are lots of families out there with ASD kids, never alone! 🙂
Oh Braylee!!! A breaks my heart!! 😭😭🧩😭😭 I hope you’re smiling and laughing!!! 🥰
It’s getting better ❤️
I have those days too but I mostly when i dont get what i want at school like when my para takes my phone that triggers me i am also have autism its hard to know what you want sometimes
just subscribed to your wonderful channel ♥️♥️
She is beautiful it’s hard for her she can’t talk so she can’t tell you what she feels
I can relate to you guys with the meltdowns I find it hard to watch them struggle and not be able to help I had a big learning curve when it came to staying calm and being the peace in their ciaos and its so much better your daughter is adorable thanks for sharing your life with the world it helps parents like me to not only learn things to try but to see we aren't alone and other go thought the same thing
It can be so hard and it’s definitely a learned thing, but once we had learned that staying calm is most beneficial for everyone, it changed things positively in a big way for us.
@@TheWeeFamily yeah it did in my house too it's amazing the difference. I'm a sole parent to 4 kids my youngest boys 11 and 7 have a autism dignosis more on the aspie side but here in Australia it's just called autism and my 12yo daughter is awaiting assessment for learning delays possibility of Asd my oldest is 17 and a huge help when I need it thanks again I'm glad I found your channel
It's so hard when they get like that. It breaks my heart when my daughter does n I just want to help her n calm her down. I hate seeing her upset. My daughter has the same toothbrush.
She’s trying to find her voice. If you have not seen the video about Carly Fleischmann or read Carly’s Voice Wee’s Family I totally would recommend you watch and read it. And also try implement something like Carly to help Brayley find her voice.
We know of Carly’s story, it’s a good one! Braylee does have a speaking device, we are teaching her signs and she is beginning to attempt speaking. We want to give her all opportunities to communicate.
My daughter is 28 months and is autistic. We don’t have the official diagnosis as of yet as uk waiting lists are long but paediatrician agrees with me. It’s your typical signs hand flapping, no eye contact, doesn’t understand her name, no pointing etc etc. My daughter talks the same as your daughter was nice to hear someone who talks similar like in a sing song way. My daughter acts like this where basically she cries and screams all day and I don’t know if she’s being w toddler or this is autism meltdowns. I never know what’s wrong and they normally come out of nowhere. Or if I take something off her etc. It’s frustrating and I get such a tension head ache. I feel for you it’s the hardest thing in the world. For you and them.
Braylee has days where she is definitely more emotional I guess we call it. Where everything is upsetting or she whines/cries on and off all day. I’m sure it’s so frustrating for them to not be able to communicate what’s bothering them. We have also found that a lot of Braylee’s struggles come from sensory issues as well so that can definitely contribute.
Those days are tough. She's such a cutie!!
You guys are wonderful parents ❤❤❤
I Understand.
Im sorry shes hurting hope braylee feels better so sad i cryied i love braylee hate to see this
It’s okay, this is an old video 👍🏻
She's so adorable
My 20ty yr old has been haveing these dad's UPS and downs it maybe the weather maybe the age IAM not sure some days it's so bad and stressful that I have to go to my room and prey that I don't go insane
Eek.
I hate meltdowns and I love the way you’re handeling hers. So much better than what my school did :)
They aren’t enjoyable at all and I can just imagine how hard it is for her and we don’t know what it’s like for her so we try to make it as easy as possible.
Hugs to you all.
New viewer. Best luck to your family. You have a beautiful family. Gonna keep watching. Vlog more and ask asa to help with the lighting
Thank you. This is actually an older vlog so we have hopefully gotten better 😅
@@TheWeeFamily i just started watching today. Hugs and much love to u all. Stay safe, hopefully all this stay at home stuff goes away asap
❤️ thanks! We really hope so too. Stay well
Braylee has the saddest little lip pout and it breaks my heart... so sorry for the rough times Braylee, but it always gets better.
Its heartbreaking when she is sad! Luckily it doesn’t happen too often.
@@TheWeeFamily It's so sweet that she responded to being offered a hug. She's so loving and affectionate. You guys are rockstar parents. Keep a lookout for a package from California! ;)
She is SUCH a cuddle/snuggle/loving and affectionate kid. It’s one of my favorite things 💜
My heart hurts for Braylee.
Sending good vibes for better days!!!
Today was an improvement 😊
hugs to you guys and Braylee, bad days suck...but you are doing a fantastic job with that litt'un. I need that Good Morning song in my life...I WILL have a good day after singing that song...who cares if I get weird looks on the bus! ;-) Take care Wees
It’s the intro song from the babyfirst show called the notekins. She likes to sing it so we sing is as a good morning song to her
Have a fantastic week! 🦋🦄
Seriously such a cool family🤩😇😇😇😇😇
I'm sorry about that that's terrible I hope she feels better
