Our dd is 3.5, she was dx a yr ago and we still have some resistance occasionally. You really need to make sure your technique is good. I have been a massage therapist for 10 years, so doing cpt is quite easy for me. Practice on each other to make sure it feels good. Keep your hands cupped tight and your wrists loose. I do clapping rhythmically with both hands. Tonight we were being goofy and I clapped with one hand on her chest and one over her mouth . She made up a crazy song and we were both laughing<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">. Make it fun!!!!

When we started a year ago, I would clap her and then we would each get a dolly and she clapped her doll and I did another! Little girls love to incl. their dolls in stuff!!

Be firm and let her know she has no choice. She either lets you do her cpt or you take away her fave doll?? something to let her know you mean business.

She also likes getting her legs and butt clapped sometimes feet hands nose ... I clap what ever she throws at me, It keeps it fun! BE GOOFY! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Before the vest, DS usually fell asleep during his beatment; however, he almost always gave us trouble during the middle one -- right before dinner, right after getting home from preschool -- he just didn't want to sit still.

Once in a great while we still give him manual CPT -- 4th of July he was having a difficult time with having no nap so he was just WILD before bed. So we let him choose vest of beatment and he chose CPT and had his uncle do it, who hadn't done it since he was probably 6 months old (DS is 4 now). So DS was explaining to him how to do it. And for fun his uncle did CPT on his butt -- or "played the butt bongos" as his Dad often teases him to start with.

The only game I can think of that my mom did with me was we would do the PT in front of the tv, and I would stick out my tongue and wait (we were both facing the tv), and my mom would skip a beat and try to "get it" with her hand and we would both giggle, giggle, giggle through PT. Silly, but it worked <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> .
