Your older children are wonderful. My 6 year old grandson is severely autistic and his 10 year old sister is so tolerant and kind. Thank goodness for siblings. You should feel proud, your children are lovely because you are.
Thank you so much! ❤️ I do believe that Ezra and Simon are a gift to our family. They teach us all so much.
What a big hike! The older kids are such great helpers!
They really are!
I know how upset Simon must’ve felt when had to hike when all he just wanted to watch his movie in the car. I know how he feels. I’m happy he felt better after a long hike.
We appreciate you watching and commenting!❤️❤️❤️
Older siblings are the BEST! Thank you for sharing your story.
Yes, they are! ❤️ You’re very welcome, thanks for watching in joining us here. 😊
That is some peaceful music in the background. But honestly Simon looks like he is comfortable in the Carrier. I'd probably be too if I was my age. My mom stopped picking me up when I was eight years old because I was getting too big 😂
Thank you for sharing. ❤️😊❤️
I have autism too, and I also have to use a walker now because of my balance problems, and certain noises hurts my ears, and I love to make friends with people who have autism like me!!!!!
That is awesome! Glad to have you joining us on the channel here. 😊
Thank you for sharing your experiences and family. Simon is a very observant little boy. I would have not suspected he was on the spectrum. Your old children are very attentive to the younger boys. It seems to come to them so naturally. You/husband are awesome parents. I admire your organic and calming style of parenting. Please keep making these videos for they are so helpful! God Bless you/family.🙏🏼
Aww, that’s sweet, thank you. ❤️ So glad to have you here!
Nice video! 7-Ahead family is Awsm!!! Crisis averted and meltdown handled perfectly!!!
Thank you so much 😀
@@7Aheadfamily NP
You're so awesome ❤️
you guys have raised great kids.
thank you, but I think they just come that way. ❤️
Who cares if Ezra wears a leash he doesn’t mind and seems happy so no one else should mind it.
Right. 😊
Beautiful view!
It was!
This place looks awesome. I wanna go there
Yes, black canyon is really cool
I love your guys videos. I have level 1 autism and your channel is just really positive. Does Ezra or Simon do any therapy’s? I know you guys do a lot of outdoor things which is pretty much therapy. Can you do a video on what can help when an autistic person is sick? That seems like some of the hardest moments for me.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Ezra and Simon have Occupational and Speech therapy. Those have both helped a lot. And thank you for your ideas for additional videos.
Thank you! Would you also be able to do a video on occupational and speech therapy. I do occupational therapy and love it.
We will put that on our list! This is the closest thing that we have made to that now on another channel that we have... ua-cam.com/video/qnueoqLTIek/v-deo.html
The way you guys grabbed the kid in the thumbnail bruh 😂😂😂
Hes cute though
Thank you ❤️
@@7Aheadfamily i support autistic cuties
❤️
It must be very hard sometimes going somewhere and then trying to deal with a meltdown do very well. I have autism from my kind of feel bad when I have a meltdown and when my parents get embarrassed about it in public
Well, there are definitely a lot of challenges that come with autism, there are also a lot of blessings. Ezra is by far our happiest child, and isn’t that what everybody really wants?❤
You're right, all parents want their kids to be happy
❤❤❤
I think i know what triggered simons meltdown. The fact that you walked past the car he may have thought that you were going home which made him confused. 💕
Thank you for sharing!❤️❤️❤️
I was also interested in birds when I was younger. There’s a whistle that I remember playing with that you fill with water and blow into and then it sounds like a bird chirping. I could play with it for hours if my parents let me.
Thank you for sharing! Was the chirping from a certain bird?❤️❤️❤️
@@7Aheadfamily I’m not sure. It was a small bird, maybe a finch or a sparrow. I remember that the whistles were small, made of plastic, usually blue or green, and they were shaped like a bird.
At the moment I only remember a small number of bird calls (Mourning Dove, Chickadee, Crow, Owl,Parrot, Parakeet, Love Bird) and it wasn’t any of those.
Thank you for sharing this with us!💕💕
We appreciate you!🩷🩷🩷
When Simon gets older he can make his own phone with two cans (or two paper or plastic cups) and some string.
That's sounds like a great idea!🩷🩷 Thank you!🩵🩵
Have you tried getting Simon ‘ramen noodlies’ they’re are a colorful fidget toy that looks like ramen and I feel like he’d like it since he loves hair!
Those do look awesome! We’ll have to get some of those. Thank you!
My kids and my needs so much help
❤️❤️
Nice
Thanks❤️❤️❤️
If my friend distracted me while he clams me down he will probably be like okay Theo give me her toy he will probably be like her take this he will probably be like oh she is so happy now
❤️❤️❤️
@@7Aheadfamily he is my best friend ever
That’s awesome!
Thank you for showing this. How old is Simon in this video? We're in the same boat...
He is two years old. You can hear more about his story from this video. If you haven’t already seen it yet…

True ❤️
I've been yelling at my kids lately and grand son they just don't like e right now the cookout had been canceled my friend is bring a friend to talk with them and maybe get Ivan to a mental health hospital overnight
Yes, get the help you need.
I have two lilttle brothers who both have autism(one of them have autism and ADHD)there names are Ryder and ryan and Ryder is 6 and non verbal and Ryan is verbal Ryder has level 3 autism while Ryan just has level one autism but meltdowns are the hardest to handle do you know how to calm kids down??
Thank you so much for sharing and for caring so much for your little brothers with autism. ❤️ here are a few of our videos we have done in that regard. We will do more in the future as well. ❤️ The main thing is figuring out how to redirect Them for the most part. Last night Simmons was having a meltdown about bedtime, and we tried many things, but for some reason when I mentioned reading a book that took his mind off the tantrum and he actually calm down a little bit which was great. 😊

Autism Meltdowns, Triggers, Tantrums, and Helpful Tips
ua-cam.com/video/1G5ZvUqQIwo/v-deo.html
Older kids are great care takers for Ezra and Simon. Psychologist labeled our daughter level 1 as well. What I hear from experts who are posting videos on UA-cam that mild autism or level 1 will be identified only when they get to kindergarten. When kids are evaluated early showing delays around 2 should be labeled moderate to severe. I am confused.
Thanks for sharing! Yeah, there can be a lot of confusion around the diagnosis, we are just glad for the help we are able to receive once diagnosed.
How can we Handle Temper Tantrums?
Great question!❤
Autistic temper tantrums, also known as meltdowns, can be difficult to manage. Here are some strategies you can try:
Stay calm
Your child can sense your frustration, so try to remain calm and model the behavior you want them to exhibit. Keep your voice and face neutral, and use slow, calm speech.
Create a safe space
If possible, guide your child to a safe place, like a corner or the car. Give them space and keep others away, but try to hold them if they might hurt themselves.
Reduce triggers
Try to remove potential triggers and make the environment quieter by turning down the lights or using noise-cancelling headphones.
Use calming strategies
Offer your child calming devices like fidget toys, weighted vests, or a favorite stuffed animal. You can also try having them listen to music, drink a cold beverage, or try deep breathing.
Don't reason with them
Children having a meltdown can't be reasoned with, so don't rely on logic. Instead, you can try teaching them breathing exercises, meditation, or counting. You can also try reassuring them with a simple phrase that provides structure and helps them understand what's expected.
Hope this helps💜
Oh time a child acting up guess what acs got involve they are no joke u are supposed to talk to ur kids don't yell but just talk I don't mean to bragged it work oh my kids never never had terrible twos at all sorry to bragged they was good as soon I take them outside they act good I Have seen taken away from parents so sad
❤️
I was very mad yes at my son friend for call my kids the Rword
🤔
Looks a bit dangerous 2 let the kids climb up that fence in alot of spots. I would be nervous with the lil kids.
It was scary. We didn't stay long up there. I was glad we had Ezra on his toddler leash. It really was a beautiful day and view, I just wish we hadn't been bitten to death by so many mosquitoes. I had to edit out quite a bit of video cause the bugs kept running into the camera and you couldn't see anything!
What all your kids names again?Sorry I keep forgetting 😅
No problem, so do we. 😜 Mark, Benson, Marie, Ezra, and Simon.
@@7Aheadfamily haha there names are so cute how old are they? Your an amazing mother you should be proud
Aww, thanks. ❤️ 13, 12, 10, 7, 2 😁
No happiness at all.
Better give up in spec school then waist parent nerves and life
Well, there are definitely a lot of challenges that come with autism, there are also a lot of blessings. Ezra is by far our happiest child, and isn’t that what everybody really wants?
I am also on the autism spectrum. I’m currently level one but I was level two when I was younger.
I did not go to a special school but for more than half of my formal education I was in special education classes in a regular school.
After making the transition to regular classes (which members of the school staff were extremely opposed to) when I was in about seventh grade I started to make more progress intellectually and even occasionally made the Honor Roll in High School and College. I eventually graduated with an English degree.
After deciding that a career in English is not for me (It’s a long story.) I decided to study IT (Information Technology) in more detail. I am currently studying computer networking and I hope to begin designing computer networks within the next year. In connection with this I am currently studying for a couple of exams in this area. Time will tell what happens from here.
Progress is always possible. Simon was previously nonverbal and now he’s verbal and communicating fairly well about his basic needs.
