Frequently Asked Questions about CFT
Children under 4 are more likely to cry during therapy. We assume that this is due to frustration or confusion, as the techniques are far too mild and gentle to cause pain. Parents are encouraged to comfort, nurse and/or lovingly distract their child during treatment to convey the necessary sense of trust required for the treatment to be accomplished. If there is ever a time during a session that the parent wants or needs to give their child a break from a technique, they are empowered to communicate that to the therapist and can assume complete control of the pace of the session.
Why does my baby/ toddler cry during the session?
How many sessions will my child need?
Every child’s strain level is unique, as is every treatment plan. Usually, treatment begins with several weekly sessions, and continues periodic maintenance visits at varying frequency.
Plan meals and snacks (other than liquids or breastfeeding) before or after the session time, as eating solid foods during therapy presents a choking hazard. Bring all children in comfortable, modest, non restrictive clothing. Babies and smaller children benefit from the company of a favorite blanket, toy or item from home to help make new surroundings more comfortable.
How can I best prepare my child for the session?
A parent or guardian must be present in the treatment room for the entire session for all minors. Hands on parental involvement is encouraged in the form of nursing, holding, singing, playing, etc.
What should I do during my child’s session?
What forms of payment/insurance are accepted?
Cash, check or credit card are acceptable forms of payment. Insurance billing is not available at this time.
