Thanks much for pointing this out.

DIR/Floortime Greenspan/Shanker, who you do not have exactly have the greatest fondness for is actually based upon the continuous attunement,exchange and transformation of rhythmic-affective exchanges between the parent and child. This is to say, once we are able to "tune into" the subtle variation of tone rhythmic patternment, inflexion and pitch, we begin to understand something about the foundation, the intuitive heart and essence of language and the basis of meaningful affective exchanges (affect cuing or emotional signaling). This in turn translates into deeper concentrations of joint attention and pattern-recognition, which then provides the basis for deepening levels of meaningful engagement. Perhaps, without knowing it, you have, at least on this one point of interest, embraced an intuitive and empathic understanding, which though not often discussed in such terms is the heart and essence of the DIR/Floortime framework.
