Hello fellow tree kisser!!! (Or was I spying on you and Briget?)
You know what? Seattle's idea isn't a bad one. I know when D7 (I know you see her as cooperative and well behaved, which is still amusing) is out of control, there are times when I instinctively KNOW she is acting out because she needs physical touch from me.
Also, she's been in PT (sorry, physical therapy) since she was 15 months old. For kids who are having difficulty calming down and are very excitable (yes, I know that your W does not suffer from sensory integration disorder), they bundle them up in a towel or blanket and hug them.
The power of touch heals in so many ways. Though I'd make sure I was wearing goggles and protective armor first!
Hugs to you today!
