I apologize for the late update. I'd also like to talk about Doudou's situation.
The updates have been getting later and later these days, and I'm really sorry.
I told you before that I have to take my children to intervention institutions during the day, so I have time to write at night.
Maybe because I have been with him for a long time recently, Doudou has been very attached to me recently. He always comes to me and shouts "Dad, Dad" non-stop, and then wants to play the game of musical chairs with me.
He likes to imitate others. When he sees me typing on a chair, he will follow suit and randomly type on my keyboard with his fingers, which causes my writing to be interrupted all the time and my efficiency is very low. I only have time to type when he falls asleep, and as a result, the time is delayed day by day. (Laughing and crying)
Let me tell you about Doudou's situation! Doudou has made great progress in the past month. He has good control over his emotions, cries less and talks more.
When I took him to the intervention class and took the subway, he was very scared. He needed someone to hold him on the way to the subway station, and he had to cover his ears after getting on the subway because he was very afraid of the noise when the subway was running.
He wanted someone to hold him when he got off the subway station, and he kept crying when he arrived at the intervention center. His parents had to sit with him in the classroom, otherwise he would feel very insecure. Basically, he would look back to see where his parents were after playing for a few minutes.
The first time we went there, we were not inside. He cried and wanted to go out to find us, but the door handle of the institution was very high and he couldn't reach it, so he stood at the door and cried for a long time, and no matter how the teachers inside tried to comfort him, it was no use.
After his mother and I went in, he cried with tears in his eyes, holding our hands and shouting "Go home, go home!"
Shouting makes people feel very uncomfortable, feeling guilty and blaming themselves.
From then on we left one person in the classroom so that he could feel safe.
Fortunately, his condition gradually improved. During this period, if no one was left in the classroom, he could spend time alone with the teachers of the institution.
And now he is willing to walk when taking the subway, but sometimes he still can't help but be afraid of the subway security gates and turnstiles.
In the past, Doudou was very picky about food. Eating was a big problem for him. He would not eat rice or green vegetables, and only ate heavy-tasting food, such as the sour cowpeas in hot dry noodles, cold dishes, and pickled mustard.
He is also very picky about snacks and won’t even look at most of the snacks. Every day before going to bed at noon, he would be rewarded with a candy. Later, it became 2, and then 3. If he wasn’t given any, he would cry and cry and cry.
He lost weight very quickly during that period because he almost lived on snacks every day.
During this period of time, I accompanied him with his mother and slowly corrected his eating habits.
At the beginning, put a little bit of rice on the food and put it into his mouth when he is not paying attention. Once discovered, he will spit it out.
Later on, he started to eat more. Although he would still refuse to eat rice directly, if there was a small spoonful of rice with his favorite vegetables, he would eat the vegetables together with the rice.
I have basically given up snacking and have gotten rid of the bad habit of eating snacks during lunch break.
There are still problems with delayed gratification. He can't wait, and if what he wants is not given immediately, he will get anxious and then cry.
We are slowly adjusting this and learning with the teachers of the institution.
Overall, there has been significant progress in this month. It is indeed effective when parents spend more time and energy accompanying their children, coupled with the intervention of institutions.
The main difficulties now lie in two aspects:
First, I can’t find suitable playmates.
My aunt's family came to visit us from Yichang on the weekend. At first, Doudou refused to play with my cousin's children.
But when he sees older children playing with things, he will become interested and start imitating them.
And I found that he really likes crowds and lively atmosphere.
He will be very happy in a crowded environment and learn things quickly.
When he met my aunt for the first time, I taught him to call her "grandma aunt" and he remembered it immediately. The next day, he actually ran over with a smile on his face and called her "grandma aunt". This had never happened before.
This proves that he still needs to interact with more people and play with other children more often.

But in our community, most children who are about the same age as Doudou go to kindergarten, and their parents are unwilling to play with him. He ignores people, doesn't look at people, and there is a possibility that he might hurt others. It is normal for other parents to have such concerns.
The second is the financial pressure. We signed up for the institution's intervention course for three months and spent more than 48,000 yuan, an average of 16,000 yuan per month.
We are renting a house now, and we are still paying off the loan for the wedding house we bought when we got married. The monthly mortgage and rent, plus the expenses for Doudou's medical treatment, plus miscellaneous expenses add up to more than 23,000 yuan, which is really a lot of pressure.
After his mother resigned, I became the only breadwinner in the family. However, the income from writing books is extremely unstable, which makes me a little anxious.
Fortunately, I made a little money from external sites in the past few years, and at the current consumption rate, I can probably last until around April next year.
Then I have to consider selling the house. I bought this house at a high price in 2017, and it has fallen sharply since then. I have lost more than 100,000 yuan without living in it for a day...
I don't know if I can sell it yet...
I hope Doudou can get better soon! (End of this chapter)
