Here is John getting tested. (In times past, the misery in the room was huge from sensory wars. It was full-body wrestling for John and Mom.)
We call this “The Headphones Game”.
“The Blood Pressure Game”, “The Balance Game”,
“The Don’t Make Mommy Cry Game”,
“The Getting Poop in the Toilet Game”,
and my all-time-favorite, the “I Think I Will Try That” Game.
Hope some of these work for you.
Peace,
Gayle
