    You could have picked up the sticks so fast, was awesome that you showed patience and worked with Levi to get him to do it. Great job Mom and Levi! Aww, he met you with a. glass of tea. How thoughtful......

    I’m glad you kept after him and made him do it. You show great patience with him when he’s not wanting to cooperate. It’s good for him to be involved with some of your chores. Good job, Mom and good job, Levi.

    Keep increasing your expectations for Levi. I know it's a constant reminder for you to keep on him to keep working, but he can be productive and help you with chores. And all of that is good for Levi.

    It’s good to see Levi out and about I know you give him chores it shows because he goes and puts things away when you give them to him, I laugh though when you tell him to pick up the big one and he takes the small one it reminds me of my grand kids when I ask them to do something they really don’t want to do 😂

  • @patevans9907
    @patevans9907 3 місяці тому +1

    Levi will learn if you keep making him do things. I do know it’s harder for us to make them do something than to just do it ourselves! As for the tea bags, put the number needed for each batch of tea in a baggie and tell him to use only one baggie for each batch of tea. Maybe, he will get the concept that way. Keep on keeping on! Enjoy your videos!

      I think we don't always realize how high functioning Levi is, and that he is 27, not a child. Levi has good communication skills, he comprehends and follows conversations and has a good memory. I'm glad you are encouraging Levi to leave his comfort zone more Kim. He's very capable of following directions and just needs more practice to refine his skills. Working outdoors is always healthier than walking on a treadmill

    Kim I’m so glad you don’t treat Levi like he can’t do anything. You treat him as much like a normal child as possible. You teach him that he needs to do jobs around the house. It might not be perfect but you are teaching him that this is what we do as people. Just because a child has autism doesn’t mean they can’t do anything. When in fact they are very smart. My friend has a child that is autistic. You can ask her where anything is in that house and she goes and gets it. We laugh and say if she doesn’t know where it’s at then it’s lost forever and that’s probably the truth😂. Have a wonderful evening.

    Hi Kim! I love watching your channel and all the Morrow Hill Clan! This is not a comment on this video, I just wanted to thank you for the hint you gave on one of Paw Paw's fixes you helped him with. You fixed a leak in his water line and used a bic lighter to heat up the plastic piping in order to get the plastic repair coupling slipped in place. I have plastic drip line in my flower beds and have always struggled to repair leaks. Now it's an easy peasy chore to get that darn coupling into the cut ends of the drip line. A million thanks for all the tips you give!

My son would drag so slow sometimes I swear if flies landed on him they would die of old age from not being disturbed. And he is not autistic, I think all kids dread mom chores.

I know you know best but i would tell him PawPaw or Uncle Dan is coming to talk to you about trying to hit me...cause you know how much he loves them...your yard looks good ...i love mowing , its therapy for me

    The full Moon in June is the 21st and boy is our daughter Naomi letting us know. She has laughed uncontrollably and screamed once. Emotions can be so fickle.

    I seen Levi try to scare you but you handle it well ,I really think he was only trying to scare you so he could stop working . then he got you a glass of tea cause he knew you were tired . It made me think of what God dose ( he will not give you more then you can handle ) of course i don't know him as well as you but that is my opinon . God Bless
