And yes, he can relax !!

There was thing with my DS. Whenever, we tell him to close his eyes, he could not actually close them - he would shut his eyelids, tightly - so much so that his forehead would be burrowed and we can see the crow's feet around the corner of his eyes.

We have started a new "thing" for him - the rhythm, based on "waldorf" like program. As a part of the rhythm, we play some really soothing music in the background and get him to swing in a cane chair (a kind of swing); sometime we gently swing him as the music plays in the background. After the (SI kind) morning walk, this is the part of his rhythm.

I've been noticing this for a while, but now I see he does this more often; today as the swing was going back and forth and with "gokulathil kanna, kanna" (a tamil song with classical overtone), he laid back his head on the backrest of the swing and closed his eyes gently, listening to the song. No burrows in the forehead and no crows-feet...

...The noise around and in his own head seemed to have minimized. Oh yes, he can relax !!!
