Thank for your comments on Max Cerebral Palsy and BeauFloppy Babies.
I hope these films show some useful techniques which encourage loving parents take the initiative to improve communication, posture and movement with their children.
Showing ongoing footage on YouTube I hope to illustrate the difference that touch, massage and movement makes to the development of all children.
