[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 559168, member: 6370"] I raised twin boys who suffered from extreme prematurity. I noticed that the tiniest one could calm down when I put him in my shirt against bare skin and rocked very hard and fast. Later, when they both got older I hauled them to their room and let them throw every book off their shelves. I also provided stickers with which they decorated said shelves as they were calming down. Our agreement was that I would put the books back with their help. I also wrapped them tightly in a blanket and held them. That worked, they actually thanked me afterwards. I found this book and used the technique: [URL]http://www.a4everfamily.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=112&Itemid=104[/URL] . The author is rather a fruit loop because she claims to cure autism with this, however it calmed the boys down. Be prepared to be hit in the face as she struggles. I got kicked and punched but it worked. Oddly, I couldn't use it on our daughter who had spent 9 months in an orphanage. She screamed for 45mns straight "no, mama, no!". We were both covered in sweat at the end and it started to feel like abuse to me. Now she is the least attached of my three adoptees., so very sad. [/QUOTE]
