We just had lunch!” This is not a good response because John is blaming his father for something that he can’t help. Stay calm and reassure his father that his wife will be home soon. This is a good response as repetition might worsen due to Joe’s feelings of insecurity. He seems to feel insecure because his wife went out. By reassuring Joe that his wife will come back soon, the repetition may lessen or stop. Engage his father in an activity. This can be a good response because it may distract his father and offer something else to see, hear or do. Write down the answers to his questions, for example where his wife is and when she is expected to return. This might work well, may reassure Joe and stop him from asking again. Walk away. This response is not so good because it will only upset his father more. Accept the repetitive questions. If it isn’t harmful, let it be. Find ways to adapt. This can be a good response. Perhaps if it is just repetitive questioning, by remaining calm the behaviour may decrease. Offer his father a snack or a drink. This might be a good response. Perhaps Joe is still hungry or thirsty. It may help to calm him and meet his need. Error: Please select at least one option.Please click ‘check’ to view the answers before continuing.Error: Please type your answers in the text box.
