Asuncion role plays with Tappy
November 12th, 2009
As soon as Asuncion saw me by the door he reached for TappyBear with a big smile on his face. This 2 years old associates me with TappyBear too.
After only 2 weeks of having his own Tappy, he has started to do a variety of things that are fascinating. He uses a pencil to “inject” Tappy. He bandages him in the same way he is bandaged. He pointed out all of Tappys buttons indicating to me that he knows where to tap. He told me all about Tappy’s bodily functions. Of course, in 2 year old gibberish, but it was so obvious what he was trying to tell me.
In this case, Tappy not only helps Asuncion by being his “tapping” buddy, but also allows him to role play what is occurring to him, which in turn helps him accept and understand his treatments.
