Thanks for the book recommendation. I feel the same way about therapy…I forget to use the skills and techniques with my own kids!
Thanks for stopping by!

I’m a teacher and we ues the book, Big Body Play to teach about safe rough housing. Of course, with my own son, I seem to forget. I think it is a lot about mutual respect. Thanks for your posts.

Hello & Welcome! Great ideas. Yes, physical interactions can be very calming for some children, actually!

I also use the tickle game and wrestling when my son has already had his meltdown. I use it to redirect him and calm him down because letting him calm himself down just doesn’t work.

Haha! You’re right, sometimes it really does work! (Even when it seems crazy!)

I usually think he’s crazy, but you know what, it works!
