I was telling a good friend about comfort corner and she is intrigued. It worked well with my kids, but I never really had any challenges to using it so I really don't know how to answer her questions about a child who would be likely to resist it.
She is worried that her child *won't* agree to going into the cc, but instead will keep getting up and wandering around. I told her that there is no time limit and it's not the point to "force" them to sit there...but she is wondering if it would be okay to sit there with the child for the first few times so they get the idea of a safe, calm place to relax and feel better...
She was thinking, just sit there, take deep breaths together and maybe talk about how the child is feeling in a child led sort of way. How did any of you do cc with a child who was more on the hyper side? ...I'm off to try and find the sticky again. Thanks!
