The "freeze" dance game we play. ...Yeah. The "freeze" dance game we play. I'm so over it. 'Cause I'll give her the whole "traumatized child" thing. I'll give her the whole "didn't have the love when a baby" thing. I'll give her the whole "this is how she copes and survived" thing. I'm sure these are the reasons some of the time. But, here at 2 yrs home, I'm quite amazed that the "freeze" dance doesn't happen 3 minutes before bedtime. This child shows miraculous recovery in her speech at 3 minutes before bedtime...why, the child can be posivitely "chatty" at 3 minutes before bedtime. She played us for a while as we let her stay up late a few times talking thinking we had finally broken down some walls. Turns out not. I'm pretty sure at 2 yrs home, this child uses the "freeze" response to keep her power more then 50% of the time now. 40% so she doesn't have to "deal" with whatever issue is on the table. Only 10% out of fear. Working on not letting her control us this way anymore.Difference2This1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00984690062311016144noreply@blogger.com
