"Follow My Fingers with Your Eyes"
This is a lovely poem by Adam Possner that came in my daily Writer’s Almanac from NPR. It refers to a person who has had a stroke. Repetitive in a poignant way. Somewhat desperate.
Here is a short excerpt:
“Follow my fingers with your eyes
Index and middle, side by side
To and fro, watch them fly
Follow my fingers with your eyes”

Patience is a virtue when dealing with our OT kids

I enjoyed this article about trying not to rush our children so much as they work on exploring and enjoying their lives. This is true for our “neurotypical” children but I think even more poignantly applies to our OT kids where everything takes a little longer. It’s so hard to bite or tongues or sit on our hands, but sometimes it’s worth it.
