Nicole,
I’m so glad you messaged me on my blog! I love your blog It’s been so fun to read it – I feel like I know you a “little better” already . I’m so very happy to find someone who likes MNRI and CM!!! I have found that doing MNRI therapy at times has been hard also. My son did not want to hold still for it, or stay put so that I could do the movements on him. It was hard work for me! I have been encouraged by therapists of MNRI to find the “key” , meaning, find one of the movements – or even part of the movements, that Andrew accepts well and do that part, and any part he takes best, and then the other parts start automatically integrating. And it’s true, I’ve seen it happen.

On one hand I see progress in my son in tiny baby steps, and yet on the other hand those tiny baby steps eventually lead to some progress that seems huge to me. But it is a lot of work, and it requires more disipline, and focus, and calmness than I am used to using each day . But I want to develop those habbits more anyway.

that’s just my experience with MNRI – I’d love to hear more about yours sometime. I will continue to follow your journey on your blog!

I’m glad you found ABM! I have not heard of that before! You seem like a great mom with great instinct and I’m sure you will do what is best for your son!

My mom just sent me your blog. I appreciate your insight! We just met Dr. Masgutova at the end of October and I’m still trying to get it together to get our home program going. I’m also hoping to do a Family Conference in San Diego in February. I have a 21 month old with severe CP, and I love the concept of MNRI, I just need to find the time to do it all! Hopefully I can train her caregivers too to help me out, once I myself get a better handle on it all.

Thanks for sharing. I saw this on the Children With Challenges Yahoo group. I teach parents how to use MNRI with their children and I love it. I am exploring Anat Baniel’s Method after reading Kids Beyond Limits! Good luck to you and yours!

I am meeting with Dr. Masgutova for the first time in July. I can’t wait to have a home program like you do. My son is two almost three and also has CP. I am going to share your blog on mine at Seize the YAY! I want lots of people to learn about MNRI

Thanks, Jocelyn! It’s a small thing, but I hope it’s helpful to you and Michael. Please let me know how it goes.

Nicole you are so creative to re-purpose the Home Routines app to keep track of the therepy. I am so happy that you have found a routine that is working for you. I love you so much and am very very proud of you.
