Kari – I hope it helps; it is frustrating when you are seeing different things in and out of therapy.

Jenny & Jennifer – Isn’t it amazing how we all become entertainers when we have children?

Terri – I’m so glad. I love it when we can help each other gain another perspective or find another solution to a problem.

Last summer in desperation–I had my kids help me to make a doll from yarn– we took the yarn and twisted it and braided it — into a funny looking “doll” the kids had each helped with a part of it– thye even gave it a name– Sally Doll– Once in a while I pull that doll out and use it… it really is amazing how well Sally Doll can get the kids moving ! (I wish I could super glue her to my hand!)So, that she is always with me…

I’m going to try that with my 4 year old!

What’s worse is that he says “What?” all the time, and then doesn’t listen when I repeat myself (his hearing is fine–I actually wondered, but it was just checked 2 months ago at his annual exam).

That’s a great idea! I have noticed that whenever I pretend a stuffed animal is doing a task, the kids think it is HILARIOUS! I should definitely incorporate puppets!

This is an idea. When Tristan has OT or ST over he rarely cooperates with them and evaluating his development is difficult for them. They always have to take my word on what he can and cannot do. Next time they come over I am going to try the puppet approach. I’ll let you know how it goes. Won’t be until September though because we don’t do therapy in July and August.

lonestar818 – yes, both Thomas and SpongeBob carry a lot of weight around here as well!

Melody – maybe the puppets could sing and dance.

Thanks, Julie, I’d love to hear about something that helps with your little guy in some way!

Trish, after I wrote my TTT, posted it and came here…I realize it is an off-key of your method. Really, I cannot carry a tune. Puppets would be a better choice.

I am loving TTT. Thanks.
