We continue to take Gracie for little car rides most evenings. We give her a break every now and then when it seems to be getting too stressful for her.
Her reactions are still the same. If we make a right turn, she knows that is the direction to Grandma’s house and is excited. If we make a left turn, she becomes upset. We try to push her until she curls into a ball. Then, we turn the car around and return home. She almost immediately pops up. She looks out the window and realizes her torture is almost over. We hope this is a good sign.
Progress is very slow. It took 4 years for this behavior to take root. It is not going away overnight, even though we would like it. We would love any tips you have to offer.
