Child Cope with Stress and Thrive Through Difficult Transitions"
11.5.12 Begin Sleep talk. I waited 2.5 hours after Caroline went to bed to start the sleep talk. I started by telling her I loved her. Then went into I love to be happy. I look into her eyes and she is staring at me.
I don't know if she was fully awake but her eyes were open. Wow, she is such a light sleeper.
Maybe I can do it as she is going to sleep like I talk to her to hypnotize her.
New Food Today: Cinnamon muffin!!! Yea Leon, the chef at Richard Joseph who made the muffins.
I'll try again tomorrow.
11-6-12 I laid down with Caroline and started the sleep talk while she was awake. "I love to try new food. I will try the food my mom gives me." Caroline, "Mom, what are you doing?' Me, "Encouraging you to try new food. It's called sleep talk". Caroline, "Good night mom."
11.7. 2012: I went to the store and bought spices for the smell therapy.
This is one of the three therapies that I will do with Caroline every day, hopefully.
Caroline has a bit of a cold or Alabama allergies, or something. This evening I did the breathing therapy of 3 parts hydrogen peroxide and 5 parts water. She blew her nose a few times and said she felt better but I'm sure she was just bored with sitting there.
This is ND therapy for a typical child. Well, at least she hasn't been diagnosed with anything. The toothette stimulates the nerves in the mouth and the brain.
This is the same therapy for a child with Autism. If given her way, she would eat pizza all day long, every day. Sometimes she would eat spaghetti, plain with no butter. I did this therapy, along with the one above, years ago and have decided to do it again. I'm hoping that stimulating the nerves along with the smell therapy helps her discover new foods.
