Rating:  - Absolute Essential for Moms
I have been using Holding Time with my children for two and a half years and find, as the author also found, that my children go through the stages of resistence, submission and tenderness. I find it is a way to enable my children to find and process their feelings and to give me an opportunity to counsel them in issues that they are having trouble with.

Rating:  - Pay Attention to the Reviews
The only good reviews are from people who didn't use it on autistic children or altered the method to leave out forced holding. Should get you thinking.

Its reassuring to them and builds their sense of trust. ... Read More
Rating: - Holding is not easy but it works
Holding is difficult. It depends on the family strength and will-power to maintain a nurturing connection with the child. But I am truly convinced that, in the case of my children at least, both of my adopted children would have been in deep trouble. Their behavior was terrible in the extreme. James, age 9, would have become a sociopath and ended up in prison. Sonia, age 10, would have been engaged in antisocial behaviors - shoplifting, self-mutilation or teenage pregancy. I've seen it too often in other ... Read More
