[tri-med] Re: older triers

I have experienced the same with Ellie as she used to rock on all fours a
lot.   She still does it but not nearly as much since she started walking.
And if we take her to the play park she heads straight for the swings and
will happily spend all afternoon there, ignoring all the other equipment.

I came across this website which may be of interest to you ....?

Claire had PT today and she was 'rocking' - backand forth, something
she just started doing, and her therapist mentioned that she wasn't
getting enough 'spacial' stimulation... mentioned that she needed to
swing, etc.
We had an infant swing for her when she was tiny, but gave that away
as she outgrew it. Now we will look into another swing for her.  The
PT mentioned that sometimes kids don't get enough and they tend to do
to things that are socially unacceptable (like rocking).

Guessing that parents with older triers knew this, but might be able
to chime in on what we should think about in regards to stimulating
her with swings, and does it help to keep her from rocking?  How cool
to have a simple solution like that.
