One of the lost kinds of parent pleasure with kids of learning differences are too few moments of cuddling.

So we now have a new intervention, “Forced Cuddling”, to build those neural pathways.

We started with 4 minutes.

I said, “Wiggle, and I am adding a minute”.

John stopped wiggling.

Then it became a fun exercise in silliness and negotiating minutes.

John got to laughing and having some moments of happiness and joy.

The way it was supposed to have been.

And so did mom.

And we are building neural pathways for his future.

Try this at home?

Peace be with us,

Gayle
