On Movement at Home, Raising a SpecialNeeds Child, Mindbody Connection, and More

The recipe also failed to mention how much oil was needed. I’d love the corrected version of the recipe if possible.

On another note, I thoroughly enjoyed Miriam Frankel’s OT@ Home article on deep touch and movement at home, which was fabulous. I tried most of her ideas and saw a marked difference in my children later. A day before Pesach, when all the kids were home and feeling bored and unsettled, I took out the oldest mattresses in the house, gave them blankets and pillows, and instructed them to build a fort with these items. They had a total blast, jumping, rolling, and tumble-saucing all the way through. I joined them myself for a few minutes and they got a total kick out of seeing their mommy rolling on the mattresses as well.

They were so settled for the rest of the day—it was incredible to observe. I’ll be doing this again.

Thank you!
