Is It Possible?
We started “brushing” Forest on Wednesday for his Tactile Defensiveness, today is Saturday. That’s what, three days? Yesterday I noticed that he didn’t fret about getting into his car seat and we had no trouble when he put on his pjs. Things that normally can leave us both in tears. This [...]
