Guest guest Posted June 19, 2002 Report Share Posted June 19, 2002 Hi Laurie, My son Tayler used to bite as well and we found that he stopped after we atarted biting him back and he felt the pain and then he slowly stopped doing it anymore and now he doesn't bite anyone or anything anymore, it took a few months of this but I fopund that it worked along with the no bite and that is bad. Sherri Mom to Tayler ds (4 in august) and Cierra 2 1/2 (tomorrow) Aquatic therapy > HI Everyone,Today was Mics first day at aquatic therapy and he loves the water,he did not want to be held in the water so we got a baby life jacket and let him go he swallowed alot of water but boy did he love it. This is his second summer in aquatic therapy.I recomend this to anyone who hasnt tried it.We are working on his trunk muscles and could feel the work out it gave him.His little stomach muscles were really working.Any body know of any good trunk exercises I have learned that other parents have the best info and sometimes little tips that our therapists dont.Mic got his first real spanking today and I really dont believe in spanking,he bit the little boy with cp and left marks on him, I only turned around to get a diaper and Mic attacked.I was so mad he hurt this little boy I actually spanked him and took him out of the room, does anyone have any tips on how to stop the biting without spanking.He cried hard for a few seconds and it killed me.I ve tried removing him from the room and he always gets NO BITE I just cant think of anything else.I thought about rubbing something that tastes really bad on my arm and let him taste that when he bites and see what happens but knowing Mic it wouldnt bother him.I dont know if I mentioned Mic stood alone and tried to take a few steps today, he also discovered walking backwards holding on.We are doing the Happy dance in our family abig milestone for us.I love opinions and I know alot of people have them about spanking so just because Im new here dont be careful with me I can take it.Have a great night.Laurie > > > --------------------------------- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks, Barbara -- very interesting and helpful. Do you have access to the warm-water aquatics, or is this a regular swimming pool? I hope you can find time to go back, as you said, although I know how demanding and all-consuming those wedding preparations can be. It's so good to reserve some " sacred " time just for you. (With me, it's needing to walk regularly and aerobically, just on my own. But I need something more besides, and that is why I am getting serious now about the aquatics option.) Best, > > , > > I have been going water therapy for the last 10 years. For me it's not that expensive since I belong to a class at the local high school. Average price is around $30 a month and I go twice a week. I think it's better than a health club because there are only around 8 or 10 of us at one time. Also, the pool is deeper; 4' at the shallowest end so short people, like me, can get an upper body workout as well. > > I can't do a lot of the aerobics but it's much easier to do stretches and I just walk and stretch different ways in the water. The water provides resistance for strengthening as well as holding me up. > > All of my docs recommend it but I have never checked into insurance. In fact, when I was 5 weeks post op after my last spine surgery I was in the water. > > I usually go twice a week but have missed several sessions due to all the things I have to do to get ready for my daughter's wedding in two weeks. I notice that I feel much better when I do go so I'm hoping to start back soon. > > I would recommend it for anyone. Barbara > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yes, I do swimnastics three mornings a week and it helps a lot. It is what keeps me going. Of course, the medicines I take also help. I hope it helps you. Joan Has anyone tried aquatic therapy and did it help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
