My son gets massages from me every single day, on his back and feet.. he craves firm pushing and rubbing of his back and feet.
i didn't know much about this, my daughter has never slept good, she is 15 now. someone mentioned a weighted blanket and she got one for christmas, she LOVES IT. and she sleeps better!
Weighted blanket....he loves. And when he was smaller, he loved it when we squished him into his bed at night.At 16 he still loves to snuggle with me .....
We got a weighted blanket for our son. He sometimes likes to have it on his lap. This blanket is homemade from fabric that numerous pocket/compartments that have rolled up t-shirts within. You can remove some to make the blanket lighter, or keep it full weight.
My son loves, loves, loves, craves deep pressure- Weighted blankets and lots of blankets, weighted toys (my son has a 7 lb stuffed lizard he drags around with him), weighted vest (not a favorite), squeezing his feet, pressing on him, roll him up like a burrito in a foam egg crate pad, roll a therapy ball over him as he lays face down, and ball pit.
