When Corazon was 4 1/2-5 yrs old she did this in public only (grocery cart, public bathroom, daycare, etc.) We started "prescribing the problem" and it stopped after about a week and a half with only a couple of very short "relapses." It seemed to be an "attention-getting" strategy for Corazon so we sent her to a "private" location to do her thing.Dia por Diahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779572435008177679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615738387814644598.post-48397748685462534832010-09-13T11:39:18.670-04:002010-09-13T11:39:18.670-04:00HUGS to you!

Playing devil's advocate, AB and WG both were very interested in their parts at this age though and neither were they molested or suffering from trauma or abuse. SISSY however, never touched herself and just yesterday admitted that she withholds her bowels for a week or more so she doesn't have to touch herself. And of course, Sissy suffered trauma, abuse and molestation. so there's that...<br /><br />WOW to Hope being able to play for such long stretches without ganking for interaction. That speaks volumes about her perceived list of diagnoses. as in, maybe not! Sissy and AB could NEVER play for long stretches without interaction even when I was 4 feet away and both are diagnosed as being on the spectrum with ADHD to boot.<br /><br />i hope today was a good day for the two of you.Integrity Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196095126605205738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615738387814644598.post-88641908602473793202010-09-11T17:08:55.547-04:002010-09-11T17:08:55.547-04:00Crap.
