Loads of squishing for my seeker. I got some foam offcuts and filled a quilt cover with them and it lives in the lounge room in front of the tv so we can roll on it as needed. Lots of hugs and deep pressure stuff for both actually. Evelyn my avoider loves hugs as long as you don't touch her arms or legs or head. Laura loves it all over, scrunching her in a ball, squashing anything intense. I also bought a small 1mx1m trampoline that also lives in the loungeroom now so she can go jump on it whenever she needs to. Its surprising now that i have things laying about that they easily ask for or seek out themselves the stimulation or calming that they need. I also have an exercise ball that floats between their bedroom and lounge that I'll bounce them on or roll over them (not the arms or legs!!!! for Evelyn). It's still a juggling act The girls like to spend alot of time in the bath so I have bought various size hoses and they blow bubbles int he water, sometimes if they are hypo I aslo spray a bit of shaving cream ont he wall and they go wild rubbing it all over the place. Swinging, deep pressure and jumping have been the best things for my seeker. The other thing we nee to work on is lots of blowing, long breathes. So whistles, bubbles, I play a game blowing cotton balls across the floor.
It's incredible how different the girls are. Evelyn like your eldest has to have cold food. I have to add ice cubes to hers to cool it down, where as Laura last night kept asking me to heat up her food more. Evelyn has to have plain bland pasta, Laura loves the spicy suace. What do you do for meals? I put everythig on the middle of the table on separate bowls and have the girls serve themselves what they want. eg stirfry is rice in one bowl, cooked plain meat in anoth and the vegies & sauce in a third. If I don't think they'll like what I've cooked then i'll throw on a plate some ham and cheese. As long as they eat somethig I'm happy.
