Fwd: Sensory Integration Classes

Hi again class!

Hopefully last email from me today so not to overload you:) During class, you have probably heard me talk about sensory integration. And Jen Grahn just asked me today for more information on these enlightening and empowering overview sessions. Just so happens that Chris and I are taking the current daytime overview series. We will go to overview to tomorrow at 11:30 AM. Please go to the bottom of this email to learn more information about what sensory integration is and then what is taught during these four overviews. Chris and I need to work on the homework that is due tomorrow about identifying what are organizing and dis organizing activities for us. Christy has the parents/caregivers do their own work on themselves so as to better be able to help their children increase their sensory processing self-awareness in hopes of being able to better manage their feelings and behavior. It's All Very Fascinating. I wish I knew this when I was much younger, but better now than never! I included Christy on this email in case you want to contact her directly. If going to Decatur does not work, Christy is now offering her overviews online. However, I think being at the live session is probably more effective.

 Dear Parents,

Hope you and your family have had a fun summer with time to relax! I am contacting you because I value you as a source for referrals.

I am pleased and excited to announce that occupational therapist Charlie Johnson will be joining ranks with me here in Decatur! If you know of a family who might be in need of our services, please let them know that we have a few openings.

Charlie worked with Clay White for 3 yrs and shadowed me for nearly a year prior to entering into OT school. His focus in sensory processing and arousal regulation in pediatric populations was clear from the beginning.  The children really love his kind and gentle spirit and I am looking forward to his creativity and insights. Charlie additionally has a degree in sociology.

In addition, my next lecture series on Sensory Integration starts soon on September 11 (evening) and October 1st (daytime).  Details are available at: http://www.christykennedyot.com/services.htm.

Thank you for attending my classes in the past and for telling friend and colleagues about these classes. If learning about sensory integration has made a difference for your family, would you please consider forwarding this email to another family?

Feel free to contact me if you have questions or if we may be of service to you. 

With gratitude and all the best for this new school year,


Christy Kennedy, OTR/L

Fwd: Respect Yourself ~ ScreamFree

Hi Class! 

I know I often refer to different parenting curriculum's during our sessions, such as ScreamFree parenting, or Positive discipline, plus mention helpful books, so I plan to forward you a little info on each so you have access to additional resources. As with everything I send or share, take what is relevant to you or resonates, then file away the rest or forget it:) Too much info can be overwhelming. And if I say that I will send something and I don't, please, please remind me by email or text, and I will get it out to the group. By the way, you can sign up for this daily email by clicking below and going to the website. See you all this Fri am. I will be sending out a session 3 overview in the next day or two. 

ScreamFree parenting is very powerful approach. So true about the control we do have versus what we don't....and that we don't have to take things personally. Again, all this is easy to say, yet hard to do on a regular basis. The good news is that the more we practice pausing, acting calm, the more often we will be that way. It does become a positive pattern😊

What you can control is whether or not you show it to them and whether or not you act in a respectable manner -- even when they don't. As with most things, this has nothing to do with them and everything to do with you.

Subject: Respect Yourself
Reply-To: info@screamfree.com

e-Quip of the Day "You can waste years, trying to get someone to give respect to you, as though it were a sort of promotion or raise in pay. If only you do enough, if only you are good enough. No. You have to just...take it. Give it to yourself, I suppose. Say, I'm sorry you feel like that and walk away." (Lois McMaster Bujold) A ScreamFree Take Respect Yourself You can't control whether or not your kids, your spouse, your parents, your boss, or anyone else shows you respect. What you can control is whether or not you show it to them and whether or not you act in a respectable manner -- even when they don't. As with most things, this has nothing to do with them and everything to do with you. Be the grown up in every situation, and then be confident enough to allow their attempts at disrespect to bounce off of you like the tiny arrows of the Lilliputians in Gulliver's Travels. Their barbs cannot hurt you without your permission. Rather than "huffing and puffing" or "pouting and shouting" when they act disrespectfully, smile to yourself and remember that you don't need their affirmation to know that you're a strong person. Set simple and clear consequences and follow through without taking it all personally. You'll show them what real respect looks like, and you just might earn some along the way.

You can sign up for these weekly emails by going to the bottom of the email and clicking on subscribe. Love to hear an update! Reminder that our next session is next Friday Oct 3rd when we will be going over the power of empathy, and when & how to use the energy drain technique.

I loved my garage door. Well…not so much the door itself but how I could make it go up and down without getting out of my car.   Last night I pushed the remote and nothing happened. I pushed it again…still stuck. Being a mature, middle-aged guy, I did what seemed the most reasonable: I whined and complained. It stayed stuck.   Figuring that a good night's sleep would fix its obstinance, I tried again this morning. My once golden-retriever-like door was now a cat…a Siamese cat. It ignored me again. Desperate times call for desperate measures: I yelled at it some more. Then I stomped into the house and whined to my wife.   One of the greatest benefits of applying Love and Logic is that it helps us learn how to keep a tighter leash on our emotions and on our tongues. When kids see that pushing buttons no longer raises and lowers our doors, it's not uncommon for them to push even harder.   When we do the right things, they often feel like the wrong things in the short term. This is doubly true when parenting strong-willed children!   Wise parents stick to the plan, remembering that the most effective response to button pushing is to get stuck…kinda like my garage door. Instead of giving in or arguing, they keep repeating the same loving yet dull thing: "I love you too much to argue."   I've pretty much decided that arguing with my garage door remote is useless. It never gives in. If I were only as consistent with my kids as this door has been with me!   In our CD Avoiding Power Struggles with Kids, by Jim Fay and Foster Cline you will get a lot of laughs as you learn to steer clear of everyday struggles.   Thanks for reading!

Love and Logic Tools ~ Giving Effective Choices & Enforceable statements

Hi to my wonderful new class ~

We will be going over how to create effective choices in session 4. And will be learning about, and coming up with our own enforceable statements during session 3. 

Mia, I think it is a sign that you are supposed to be in this class since now you know two participants, Jen and Julie! How cool is that? Happy Friday to everyone 🎉Remember to observe, experiment and even fail, then try again with another choice or consequence. It's all trial and error and we are learning as we go, just like our children!

Please keep in touch. Love to hear how things are going. Please read session 1 in workbook and start on session 2, if get some extra time. 
Thank you for investing in yourself and your family!

Cheers,

Andrea
