The principle of "joining" is the cornerstone of the Son-Rise Program. ABA therapy, for example, will try to discourage a child from his repetitive behaviors, but SRP believes that in joining, we can create a special bond that will show a child how much we value him.
If your child lies on the floor for hours on end, lining up his trains from end to end; you do the the same! If your child flaps his hands and spins in circles; you do the same! This is how connections are made!
As you "ism" with your child, eventually they will glance your way. Cheer and celebrate the eye contact they give you! It will help them reach out to you more and more!
