Yes we did start the exercises. Initially my son ( 2 years and 9 months) was quite resistant so we had to make it as if it were a game. You really do need 2 people to do the exercises with the child. You might want to do the exercise for half the period of the stated time before increasing it gradually when your child becomes more accustomed to it. Did you try playing some soothing music in the background while you did the exercise?
I find that if I prayed about it beforehand, it also made a difference and he was more compliant.
We also did notice a difference when we started including lecithin in his diet, about 1 tablespoon a day in his breakfast cereal for about a week now. His words became clearer even within a few days and he is beginning to say more words each day as we go along. He also began to string words together a bit more and even managed a complete sentence of his own which took me completely by surprise. It really is touchig to see his progress and gladens my heart.
Before,this, we sometimes felt quite helpless when we couldn't meet his needs if we couldn't understand him since he had trouble expressing himself. I guess it's a process and journey over time as we slowly learn to understand him more. It's still early days yet.
For our next step we plan to add flavoured cod liver oil supplement as suggested. Hopefully he will like it. We feel that by taking things step by step helps us know what's really working for him.
Hopefully, you will have some good succees too
