Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 > I have a funny story along those lines. I tutor a class once a week with two of my children one of which is my son. He is why we started MNRI. He has difficulty handling his emotions. A few weeks ago I had to send him out of class because of his behavior. He came back much better. I could see him out in the hall doing things so later I asked him what he was doing. He said he was doing the balance reflexes that he could remember. I asked him how he could do atnr on himself. He showed me how he used his other arm and leg to give resistance. It was so funny to see him like a pretzel. Of course I managed to not laugh until he left the room. But it helped him. I used to practice my piano in high school just at my desk in study hall. I did just as good as if I practiced at the piano. > ________________________________________________________________________ > 3a.
