Thanks for sharing the video. I have to applaud both the mother and the child for their patience! I am sure that "slow and simple" will help kids in all areas of learning.

Great job, Carol!!

It sounds to me Prue combines RDI with OT/SI to help this child's proprioception.

it was one of the very good example to show that keeping your activity slow and simple helps the child to connect with you and there by he could think and see what the mother was showing him. wow

It was so heart warming to read this story. It is really great to hear that RDI has helped this family to feel successful and that W is able to work through his anxiety. What a huge WOW, that he was able to share his thinking. Way to go W! :)

Well done to the parents and the boy, slowing down is hard in a busy world. When we do, the rewards are enormous. Simple measures with positive results!

Nice example of the child social referencing the Mom for guidance. He stayed with her, referencing her facial expressions and gestures for guidance and reassurance....and like a good apprentice, kept handing her the spatula when he couldn't wait any longer....loved the part where she was demonstrating the concept of "hot" when the dosa was done...he continued to wait, accepting her guidance, focused and attentive for understanding.... when she handed him the piece of dosa when it was time, accentuating her leadership/guidance role.of the "just right moment".

RDI has given us such countless moments where we found our four year old autistic son giving his thoughtful response. Being our consultant you have always guided us how to be patient and pause for response without prompting that helps to boost my son's thought process and meaningful responses.

Thanks a lot Carol!

we are waiting for more blogs in this series.

Brilliant work. The video clip shows the tenacity and perseverance of both child and mother. The mother's calm and simple gestures went a long way in convincing the child. Lovely!

This is really inspiring and encouraging. It also makes huge sense.

In order to thrive we all need a sense of freedom deep within , in our spiritual essence. The protective armour of fear can only block the expresssion of who we really are.

I also believe that it really matters to our sons and daughters to be seen in a sense of wholeness and .

THank you for this

Nice video to learn. the boys was calm and was not trying to capture the stage. mother was exaggerating the feeling by non verbal ways.
