From a parent after a short time of his son being on the Little Giant Steps (LGS) Neuro-Educational Program:

Our son, CK, just started Little Giant Steps.  We have been working his program as diligently as possible.  I wanted to tell you about a “little giant step” I experienced last night.  I have never seen him cry because he was genuinely sad.  I have only seed him cry when he was angry, had been disciplined, or did not get his way.  Last night I saw him cry a different “cry”.  It was not the out of control hysterical cry I am used to, but a quiet, sad cry because he was upset about something.

His little brother let our dog  have one of CK’s stuffed animals (a monkey).  The dog bit off the hands and ears. Instead of first getting furious and mad at his brother (normal reaction), CK came to me crying about what had happened to his monkey.  He was upset and very sad for his poor monkey (it was not a human, but at least he showed compassion for something) and CK wanted to be held and consoled by me.  Besides when he has been  ill, it is the first time I can ever remember him acting or feeling “tender”.   I felt like crying myself.  God Bless LGS and the work you all are doing.  What a motivation I experienced to keep moving onward!   ~   CK’s Dad
