Doesn’t want to see his mum and dad Anymore :(

Hi I care for a boy who is 21 years old. He receives 24hr support in a support living home with up to two support workers at a time coming in and out. He really enjoys doing lots of different activities with his support workers and goes to a day centre during the day three days a week.

He is normally a happy and fun loving boy but recently he has been becoming very anxious normally on a Friday night before he has his one night per week overnight stay at his parents house on a Saturday night. We are confused as to why he has suddenly wanted to stop this overnight stay on a Saturday with parents and will say to us stay at home please no mammy and daddy this week! It has gone three weeks now without the overnight stay but will allow them to visit for dinner at his house once a week if that. This is strange to us as he has always stayed at parents once a week for as long as we can remember! His parents seem quite put out by it all.Any ideas are welcome please thank you! 

  • Could it be to much of a change to his routine as he settled all week where he is.i do feel for the parents .we feel so much love and our little darlings are so matter of fact and focased on there routine.x
