He taught me SO much about the harsh reality of living with 🙌🏽. When Johan would arrive for a treatment, he would first race around the pool for a good 10 minutes - fuelled by .
Then he’d be able to sit outside the treatment room and draw- but it had to be Lion. Over and over and over.
And then he’d start to feel safe and allow touch- and would dive into the deepest hugs… before jumping up and rushing off again!

Pro Tip 1. Allow longer treatment times than needed , to give space for running and drawing and panicking and connecting

Pro Tip 2. Make sure you can work with both hands so that one is playing , but the other is checking In with the body

Such a special time
He also went for stem therapy and it was miraculous


P.s. I spoke to his mom today . She says he still runs, jumps and skips everywhere he needs to go.. and is thriving at his ordinary school ⭐️💙⭐️💙⭐️💙⭐️💙⭐️💙

Can we have 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 for Logan who was just awarded High School Forward of the Year 🏆🏆🏉🏉💪💪

Remember when Logan’s thigh got severely bruised, just before leaving on an IPT tour for the Blue Bulls in 2024?
He came for in evenings and on weekends to optimise recovery. We need to get the swelling down and soft tissue repaired or he wouldn’t be able to travel.

He got on that bus, they got caught in snow storms, but he had an excellent tour and kept his rugby dreams alive

Eye Contact with a teeny baby or a child. It’s not as easy as you’d think. It’s a natural thing to do, and it’s a special moment of connecting beyond speech.
It’s something I look out for - the moment a parent and child arrive for a treatment - what level of contact is there, through the eyes?

A shy child will give the sneaky side eye, or quickly look away when you look at them. As the treatment goes on, the eye contact gets stronger and clearer.

But here’s the modern challenge - the child who arrives at a new place, and doesn’t look around at all. Who spends an hour surrounded by toys and a new lady , who is physically touching them - and makes no eye contact at all. Absolutely and definitely a flag which needs to be raised and addressed

The really complicated part? The baby/young child who arrives, fully immersed in the tablet or Phone, their brain and senses on an over-load.

No tablets/devices in the treatment room , can we make healthy human contact ?
If healthy human contact causes a fuss and anxiety for a child, we need to talk about that .
And then get to work on stimulating the brain to be able to form connection, through the eyes and I to the world
Baby Massage Pretoria and Ronel have practical tips for this too

They say that eyes are the windows of the soul - and the level of eye contact between parents and babies, or therapist and baby (or young child) is a special...
