[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The response in the weighted blanket thread was  that there is proof that it helps. That's a statement of fact, which can be factored into a decision making process. No one was being obsessive. No one even suggested that it wasn't worth a try. He/she just said that there haven't been any studies.

That's information that I want to know.  When I'm considering therapies for my kids, I want to know what has been shown to work. I'm also interested in hearing anecdotal evidence. I also want know about cost and time commitments, and the general difficulty of pursuing a therapy at home.

:lol:

You  haven't spent enough time around some parenting boards.   "Well meaning moms" will fall into some pretty heinous parenting practices on the basis of anecdotal evidence. There's a thread floating around right now that suggest crystal therapy for teething.   :roll: [/quote]

Apples and oranges.  What I'm talking about is the annoying poster or posters who asks for links to peer-reviewed studies whenever someone has had a personal success with their own child.[/quote]
