Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I've meaning to mention this just as an interesting thing to note. I'm not sure of the significance. We did Brushing Therapy with Aubrie when she was little but never did it very regularly. Every once in a while, I'll remember it and try it again. It makes sense that it should be beneficial to her but I don't see obvious results. So. why work at fitting it into our lives, right? Anyway, for some reason she remembered it a week or 2 ago. Now she asks me pretty much every night before bed to please brush her. She just loves it. We do the full body brushing plus joint compressions. I wanted to share because I know many of you are faced with kids who can't communicate as well about what things seem to work for them. For all of us who have to prioritize which things to give our time and energy to, knowing how much Aubrie seems to enjoy and seek it might help to believe that it is something that our kids' nervous systems may crave and/or benefit from. If this is new to you, here's an overview I found online: http://www.ot-innovations.com/content/view/55/46 Like I said, I just find it interesting and wanted to share although I'm not sure of the significance. I just know she loves it enough to ask for it every day with a huge expectant smile on her face. And that huge smile stays on throughout the session.
