I love that R has that effect on others too, what a blessing it must be to know him.<br /><br />I do think sensory issues can play a role in sleep issues... we've been struggling with that with our 8-yr-olds. We've tried melatonin a few times but are trying not to do that all the time. They really have a hard time settling down to sleep, and based on what they've been telling us lately they apparently have a hard time staying asleep too. It's something I need to do some more time researching to see if we can come up with some new ideas to try. I'm open to suggestions if you have any :).danettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15555927841950877805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-57890006702624227182010-04-17T10:29:14.796-04:002010-04-17T10:29:14.796-04:00Girlie - I love that you are able to read so much!...Girlie - I love that you are able to read so much! I miss that too, though I suppose I could trade blogging for some reading time... nah :)<br /><br />I love the title of this post. And I love that kids wake up each morning with no urge except to do something enjoyable. I love that R seeks those things in his FAMILY... there really is no higher compliment.<br /><br />(And I meant to mention earlier that I thought I saw his name typed here - but didn't have your email to ask if you meant to? I have goofed so many times in trying to fix that on our blog! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112453369738198010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-23879127154931889022010-04-16T08:10:41.485-04:002010-04-16T08:10:41.485-04:00I've never been able to read more than one boo...I've never been able to read more than one book at a time...I usually start one and read it until it's finished (I read it quickly usually but then don't start another one for a long time.) I think I watch tv at home instead but find that when I'm away from home, in my down time, I love to read. <br /><br />I learned to compartmentalize very well in my previous job as I had to in order to be healthy and not bring that 'work' and negative energy home with me. There are times though that I needed about 20 minutes to transition when my days really were bad (and would escape to my bedroom when I first came home from work) when my big kids were older and then emerge bright and cheery. I'm sure that it that were to happen now, I'd have to put all that on high-speed as young kiddos can't wait. <br /><br />I love that R tries to soothe his therapist and make her feel better. He's such a gentle young guy!robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004240577952462737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-57933911794678378552010-04-15T15:51:04.680-04:002010-04-15T15:51:04.680-04:00The 'sensory lens' is powerful and I have ...The 'sensory lens' is powerful and I have been sometimes suspicious of some of its proponents. But the idea of (self) modulation via a sensory diet makes sense to me on both physiological and philosophical levels. There is a physiological reason for behavior, not all reasons are yet known. Looking for your final words on Raising a Sensory Smart Child. <br /><br />Also appreciate your remarks on Horse Boy and the other books. I don't read as much as I would like. <br /><br />I thought of you when I saw a movie dramatization of events during British colonization in India. I covered my eyes during the most brutal parts. I like the star - Sean Bean. I would call myself an anglophile, too, but always worry some will misunderstand. ;) <br /><br />"I used to think compartmentalizing was impossible - but now I realise its the best way to function". Brilliant!<br /><br />See if you like my take on A Pioneering Life - <br />http://www.therextras.com/therextras/2009/08/a-pioneering-life.html<br /><br />(Long posts sometimes result in long comments.) ;) BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-24033956372719216352010-04-15T09:47:43.431-04:002010-04-15T09:47:43.431-04:00I just saw a film about a rpm and Soma an Icelandi...I just saw a film about a rpm and Soma an Icelandic one.

I read many, man...Wow, so much here to comment on!<br /><br />I read many, many books, and often have more than one going. I have that sensory book and need to get it out because I think that's going to be part of helping Michael get past this aggressive behavior we're seeing right now.<br /><br />Before we started using melatonin, Michael took up to 90 minutes to fall asleep and almost seemed to be reviewing his entire day in detail, and sometimes getting stuck on parts that bothered him.<br /><br />I was not a fan of Horse Boy, although I did read the whole thing.<br /><br />I love the pioneer image, especially since each child is unique and we have to find our own way through.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681523260739807543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-76627303181800416392010-04-15T00:00:22.797-04:002010-04-15T00:00:22.797-04:00Awww I think I just melted when You said about him...Awww I think I just melted when You said about him holding her face in his hands and kissing her cheeks....so very, very sweet!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10200374261640349644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-66952597767260875802010-04-14T15:15:43.900-04:002010-04-14T15:15:43.900-04:00Exhausting days.
