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">
