This is an example of how you can take everyday moments and turn them into emotion sharing opportunities. The game is not perfectly done, but there is some nice emotion sharing and eye contact. And communication with very few words.

  • Yes, there is indeed much use in following a child's lead if he is not attending. The purpose for doing so is to help strengthen shared space, emotional attachment/bonding, which then in turn SLOWLY allows/creates the developmental foundations for back and forth or co-regulated interactions, pleasurably shared social-emotional problem solving with nuanced variations. I frequently find that many therapists, educators and primary caregivers often need to SLOW DOWN and allow that process to occur.

  • As a developmental therapist that utilizes a DIR/Floortime based approach, yes there is much more focus on understanding and utilizing the child's natural affect in conjunction with understanding his/her sensory processing differences( i.e., over-reactive, under-reactive, mixed-reactivity to proprioceptive, vestibular, auditory, etc.) and needed adjusted differences primary caregiver patterns - interactive styles.

  • I think DIR/Floortime emphasizes more on following the child's natural emotional interests, but there is no use on imitating the child if the child does not pay attention to you, so RDI would enhance that nicely by teaching the child to have joint attention by referencing to you. I think letting the child take the lead sometimes does help the child to be more confident so if he can lead one should let him lead too.

  • not sure what the difference is between rdi and DIR/Floortime but either way this is a great example of how children can interact and engage playfully and learn how the "circles of communication" are not always full of words! The sharing and back and forth between mom and child is a beautiful thing to watch.this reminds me when my 10yr old was young and my days were also filled with wonderful things like this!

  • Yee Haw Pardner!!
