  • Oral Defensiveness
    ORAL DEFENSIVENESS Oral Defensiveness is an aversive response to touch sensations in and around the mouth that may cause extreme sensory, emotional and behavioural responses when eating. Treatment Principles • In all instances, approach oral defensiveness in a fun and playful way. • Rapport must be well established with the child. • Intervention should be carried out at times other than meal times. • Allow the child to be an active participant in therapy as much as possible. • Take turns at playing the games with the child or include siblings. • Slow and steady wins the race. • Establish a routine - Performing the routine the same way in each session helps a child to know the expectations. • Take it one step at a time - For severely orally aversive children you may not even be able to start near their mouth. Work your way from the outer perimeter of the face in toward the mouth, then the outside of the mouth, and gradually work your way into the mouth • Reinforce all positive responses. Give verbal praise and tangible reinforcement Therapy should be directed toward reducing the sensory problems that triggered the food refusal. However, the general strategy is to influence the sensory processing system, not just the mouth. Many of the strategies used in Sensory Integration programs are effective. These include use of vestibular input(movement through space), deep- pressure touch, and proprioceptive input through the joints. Rhythmical, organizing music and sound can also influence the auditory-vestibular system. Most of these strategies can be incorporated in the family routine to prepare. For example, spoon feeding can be introduced while providing vestibular input in a rocking chair, or using specific types of organizing music during the meal.

  • July Parent and Caregiver Guide
    Big Heart World Parent & Caregiver Guide Friendship Released July 2021 What is Big Heart World? Big Heart World helps families learn together about social and emotional skills — what it means to have a big heart and how to grow one. This means: ● Learning about me (self) ● Learning about you (others) ● Learning about us (relationships) Learning social and emotional skills is always important to children’s development. From the time babies are born, they are learning about who they are, developing confidence, compassion, and a sense of what is right and what is wrong. Parents are particularly concerned about their children’s social and emotional development now due to transitions and school closures brought about by COVID-19. If you’re wondering how to help your child express their feelings, figure out friendships, share, enter a classroom environment, or learn what makes them special, Big Heart World is for you. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the pandemic and endless change and transition, Big Heart World is for you. If you feel like you can’t handle one more tantrum and you want to know what your child is really trying to tell you when they act out, Big Heart World is for you. This guide walks you through what is available on Big Heart World this month and what you can do with it. Learn more: www.BigHeartWorld.org Big Heart World is produced by Sparkler Learning with support from Noggin, the Walton Family Foundation, and many non-profit partner organizations. 1 Friendship: The Fourth Unit of Big Heart “I learned that a friend may be waiting behind a stranger’s face.” — Maya Angelou “Each new friendship can make you a new person, because it opens up new doors inside of you.” — Kate DiCamillo “Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” — Marcel Proust Why have people been writing about friendship forever? It is really important for all people, kids included.

  • Your Little Bit Matters
    Your Little Bit Matters Bob Setzer, Jr. Pastor Knollwood Baptist Church Winston Salem, NC www.knollwood.org November 11, 2018 1 Kings 17:8-16; Mark 12:38-44 In his book, All Over but The Shouting, Rick Bragg writes about growing up poor in Alabama. Once when his daddy left again and his brave but heartbroken mama was nearly defeated, there was a knock at the door. It was a little boy, “the color of bourbon. He said his mama had some corn left over and please take it ma’am, we’d like it.” “They knew,” Bragg continues. “They were poor, very poor. Living in unpainted houses that leaned. But for a window in time, they had more than us.” “It may seem like a little biddy thing by 1990s reasoning. (But) this was a time when out of pure meanness, it was routine to take a young black man for a ride and leave him cut, broken, or worse on the side of some pulp wood road, just for sport, for fun. “This was a time of horrors in Birmingham, in the back woods of Mississippi; this was a time when the whole damn world was on fire. That was why it mattered so.” Jesus told the story of a widow who did a little biddy thing. She dared to drop her two copper pennies into the temple treasury while others dropped in their fistfuls of cash. But for Jesus, it wasn’t the size of the widow’s gift that grabbed his attention and stole his heart.

  • The Influence of High-Elaborative, Emotion-Rich Reminiscing on Children’S
    The Influence of High-elaborative, Emotion-rich Reminiscing on Children’s Development of Autobiographical Memory and Emotion Knowledge Penny Wareham Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of PhD at the School of Psychology, University of New South Wales August 2007 ABSTRACT High elaborative parent-child reminiscing plays a significant role in preschoolers’ development of autobiographical memory, and, given the emotional salience of many past events, may also contribute to the development of emotion knowledge and other socio-cognitive skills. Additionally, whilst research has traditionally focused on reminiscing style, emotional content may also be important for child outcomes. In Study 1, a naturalistic paradigm was employed to examine associations of parents’ reminiscing style and emotion references with children’s emotion knowledge. Twenty-five parent- child dyads each discussed four emotionally salient past events. It was found that high elaborative parents more often discussed emotions causes than did other parents; in turn, a high elaborative style and discussion of emotion causes were each uniquely associated with children’s emotion knowledge. In Study 2 an experimental paradigm was used to examine the impact of emotion- oriented reminiscing on 88 children’s memory for a staged, emotion-rich event. Two days after participating in the event, children reminisced with an experimenter in one of four ways. Emotion-cause, emotion-expression, and no-emotion reminiscing were all high elaborative but differed in emotion content. Minimal reminiscing was low elaborative. Children who participated in emotion-cause reminiscing and, to a lesser extent, emotion- expression reminiscing, recalled significantly more emotional and non-emotional information about the event than did children who participated in no-emotion or minimal reminiscing.

  • The Manifesto
    the manifesto www.tiltparenting.com Right now, at this very moment, millions of children are growing up in a world that doesn’t respect, support, or embrace who they inherently are. That’s because millions of children today are neurologically atypical, or what I like to call “differently-wired,” and the world just isn’t ready to accommodate their unique way of moving through life. According to a March 2015 article in Psychology Today by John Elder Robinson, studies suggest that 20 percent of high school students are in some way neurodiverse. “That makes neurodiversity (in total) more common than being six feet tall, or having red hair.” 20 percent of today’s kids. 20 percent struggling to fit in at school and society because their neurological differences—whether it’s ADHD or anxiety or giftedness or Asperger’s or sensory issues or dyslexia or OCD and so on—are treated like deficits; inconveniences; things that need to be fixed, instead of part of the essential fabric that comprises these creative, complicated, awesome beings. If you’re reading this, my hunch is you know exactly what I’m talking about. You yourself are raising a child who is in some way differently-wired. I am too. And I’m on a mission to change the experience we as parents have in raising these kids so that they can go through their lives and interact with the world around them in a way that will help them thrive. The big-picture vision for TILT is to foster a generous online community where parents raising atypical kids can tap into resources that will help them feel informed, inspired, optimistic, and supported.
