SESSION 1 – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND, 2006
As I entered the house for my first session, I was greeted by the delighted squeals of 5-month-old Nawfal. I am not entirely sure whether the excitement was due to my unexpected visit, or the birds, squirrels and colourful flowers he could see from his position at the foot of the garden door. While he enjoyed the view, I was amazed by the environmental awareness (p134) displayed by him. On hearing the start-up of crying coming from the bedroom, I knew that twin brother Nayel was in transition to the waking activity (p128). As soon as he heard Nayel sob, Nawfal’s lower lip protruded, and he started to cry as well.

When I tried to put Nayel down alongside his brother, he protested by “fisting” my shirt in his hand and screeching. I found Nayel to be “conditioned” to the act of getting his way: as soon as he starts crying while in a reclined position, he was picked up by one of the nearby adults. I realised that his behaviour needed modification (p20), so I sat there and talked to him till he calmed down. While I was “scolding” Nayel for being a spoilt child, I noticed one of cutest things about Nawfal – he bent over and started sucking his toes!!
Soon after, it was bath-time. Before giving them a bath, their bodies were massaged with...
