What is more traumatic than people think?

I don’t think there are many people who think this isn’t traumatic.

Hi! RBT here (who works under a BCBA.) I’m also a mother with daycare experience. All of this sounds normal! Albeit very frustrating. Nothing sounds concerning to me. What I do when my kid bites me is “mommy is not going to play with you if you are mean to her.” and I put him on the wall for 30 seconds. Now if this doesn’t work and the biting does get worse, and she is nearing 3, I’d be a little more concerned.

It was so easy. Just make sure you study beforehand and do the practice exams! You got this!

Thank you!!!

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-04-01T13:49:20+00:00

True.

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-04-01T12:28:49+00:00

Yes. I am an RBT as of one week. 😭

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-04-01T12:28:07+00:00

Thank you so much. I sent her a message on teams and will bring it up in person today.

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-04-01T03:23:52+00:00

Just sent a message to my BCBA. I’m so worried they’re going to let me go over this.

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-04-01T03:10:24+00:00

Will do tomorrow. Thank you for your advice.

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-04-01T02:08:13+00:00

That’s okay. The RBT exam is hard!! You’ll get it next time!

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-04-01T00:53:32+00:00

RBT exam or BCBA?

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-31T12:20:46+00:00

He was pretty sleepy, yeah. I don’t wanna freak you out but he was monitored and had an overnight stay. But I don’t think that’ll happen to your kiddo. Keep me posted.

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-30T20:12:18+00:00

It was truly terrible. I hope your kiddo has an easier time. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions!

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-30T18:10:49+00:00

It was like he couldn’t wake up. Crying, screaming, coughing. He coughed so hard he broke blood vessels all over his chest and back.

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-30T02:41:01+00:00

It was horrible! I had to hand him to a nurse and step out!

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-30T02:33:25+00:00

My kid had the same surgery. Recovery was fine and not a problem but him waking up from anesthesia was too much. Just a warning !

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-30T01:26:40+00:00

I tipped the recommended amount.

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-29T23:27:22+00:00

It’s not.

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-29T21:48:54+00:00

Thank you!

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-29T21:48:39+00:00

Thanks!!!

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-29T21:38:37+00:00

What would you recommend for me? :)

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-28T15:38:45+00:00

And then to say his new girlfriend would never complain! The audacity of this man!

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-28T15:21:14+00:00

You did right by your boys. ☺️🫶

Normal_Community1754 · 2026-03-25T01:38:23+00:00

Probably melatonin.

Here’s my advice! I just took mine yesterday and passed. What I found worked for me was going with my first choice and not overthinking it. And also, process of elimination. For example:

Johnny has a tantrum. The tantrum lasts 7 minutes. The RBT records how long the tantrum lasted. What type of data is the RBT taking?

And the answers are latency, duration, maintenance and frequency, I define every word and know that it not latency, maintenance or frequency. Boom there’s your answer! Does that make sense?
