Here are some questions you might want to ask yourself:

• What do I need?
• What is hardest?
• What helps most?
• Who can I ask for advice or help?
• What would you like to do with one evening off?

Some things to make life easier

• If your Therapist gives you 5 exercises, and it is too hard, ask him which one is the most important and do only that. Ask about taking a break.
• When you are planning your day, do you plan for some time for yourself as well? Do you take that as serious as the other items?
• Where can you allow yourself to be lazy?
• Planning actually plays a huge part. It doesn`t have to be about what to do the next day or week. Maybe you could make some changes to your apartment. Do you need a ramp? Does the kids room have to be upstairs?

Two birds with one stone

If all goes well, children don`t need any therapy. But they need lots and lots of stimulation. That way, they provide themselves with the necessary impulses, sensory feedback, movement training and neurological stimulation. We call that kind of developmental encouragement "play".

This is even more important for special needs children - they usually get less stimulation, but need more of it!

Here is a wonderful lesson that supports feeding, improves hand / eye control, fine motor control, stimulates the movement abilities of the tongue and eyes, and helps with sensory integration.

Make sure you create an environment that can be cleaned up in less than five minutes. Then make yourself a cup of tea and get a book ;)

Especially if you think it will take the child long to walk

Your spine is more important to the child than it`s own.

Your health might make a huge difference for the child.

How long you are able to care for him.

If you are tense, exhausted or in pain or have constant headaches

Take care of yourself.

9 Lessons for the child, one for you.

Dare to take a break

Take care in turns. Take care of your partner. The partner takes care of you.

However you do it. It is your responsibility to be egotistical

If you are like me, you want to push on. Mark this video as completed, think that was easy and move on to the next.

Please don`t do it. sit down at least 30 minutes.
