How could I blame her? Both those times, my FT technique was to join her in her pleasant sleepy vibe and offer some good deep pressure and brushing. She fell asleep both times. But boy did I feel like a loser... until I realized how much she needed it.<br /><br />Love the "multiple choice" technique. Will need to use that more often.<br /><br />Also agree that sometimes scripts can be very useful, especially when it comes to navigating in stressful or anxiety-provoking situations. We all do a little better if we can prepare our minds with a fair supply of useful things to say. That's why idioms are so great.Dr. Uffdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16178957184779637724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-32253193967557661022011-02-15T17:46:15.189-05:002011-02-15T17:46:15.189-05:00Very nice post!

A does some scripting and oftentimes I don't even recognize it as scripting until one of my other kids says it is from a movie or TV show. I don't have a real problem with it if it is appropriate and gets his meaning across.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14934033119198457032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-76016372466443332792011-02-15T11:05:21.269-05:002011-02-15T11:05:21.269-05:00My kiddo had to find 100 things as well (I found t...My kiddo had to find 100 things as well (I found that many tiny vehicles and then we counted them a few times to make sure we had the right amount.) I just love your summaries! My DH has been gone to work so far two out of three weeks this time and my kiddo begged to sleep in my room so I have been sharing my sleep space with him (remembering now that, while asleep, he moves a lot, stretches his legs a bunch but then also will reach over and pet my arm, lol!)robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004240577952462737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-13856193209105192372011-02-14T12:57:50.702-05:002011-02-14T12:57:50.702-05:00What a lovely post, I very much enjoyed reading it...What a lovely post, I very much enjoyed reading it and seeing your photos. Sorry to hear that you feel commenters missed the point of your Hopeful Parents post. Many people are angry, but also many more people are not so great at expressing themselves in words. I always try to think of that when I get comments that I don't appreciate. <br /><br />I am very much interested in pursuing floor time for Maya but no one hear teaches or does it and there is a lot of conflicting info out there. Do you know of a good site where I can learn more about it?<br /><br />Thanks again for your beautiful words!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923923651866941447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-27945697618265514632011-02-14T10:53:25.151-05:002011-02-14T10:53:25.151-05:00The negativity toward you was simply displaced ang...The negativity toward you was simply displaced anger. I know how hard you and DH have worked at the beautiful life the three of you have. Sometimes when people see something they wish for so badly but do not have they lash out. But maybe your words have planted a tiny seed of positivity that someday will grow among those who are still too angry to be grateful for what they have and what they do not. From the outside, it is always easy to look at somebody's life and say how "lucky" they are. What they don't realize is how hard we work and fight for that "luck." I needed your beautiful post this morning and as always you deliver. Have a great day dear friend and happy Valentine's Day!Bonskynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-26677483085068407432011-02-13T20:25:27.181-05:002011-02-13T20:25:27.181-05:00Why thank you!

I'm interested in learning more about what you wrote about teaching a child a script. I've heard mixed things from therapists on this.... but if it's appropriate speech, I'm thinking I really don't care if it's scripted. I mean, kids copy and learn like that at first anyway, right?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
