  The groundwork for saying no and yes is laid in the first year of life, according to Stanley Greenspan, a clinical professor of psychiatry at George Washington University Medical School.As parents interact with their infants, responding to the babies' sounds, babies learn that they can make something happen - their first taste of exerting a will.
  
  The actual word "no" - as well as "yes" - starts appearing when a child is about 18 months old, as signaling between parents and children becomes more complex.Greenspan, author of the parenting book "Great Kids," uses this example: Susie brings Mommy to the refrigerator and points to the juice.If Mommy says, "Milk?"Susie shakes her head no.She may take Mommy's hand and move it to the juice - a sign that she's learning not only how to say no to what she doesn't want but yes to what she does, both key elements of identity development.
  
  In the next few years, as she learns the values of her family, she begins to identify reasons for her emotions.It's not enough that she be able to tell right from wrong, says Greenspan; she needs to care about what is right and wrong.
  ...
  "So when someone offers a (teenage) kid some drugs," Greenspan explains, "he or she can say, 'I'm tempted, but that is not the person I am.

  First Developed: Floortime was developed by Dr. Stanley Greenspan, who is a child psychiatrist.
  
  Overall Philosophy: Floortime is both a philosophy and an approach.The goals of floortime are encouraging attention and intimacy, two-way communication, expression, and the use of feelings and ideas, and logical thoughts.This treatment is much like play therapy in that it builds an increasing larger circle of interaction between a child and an adult in a developmentally-based sequence.Greenspan has described six stages of emotional development that children meet to develop a foundation for more advanced learning - a developmental ladder that must be climbed one rung at a time.
  ...
  That being said the pp outlined a lot of Dr. Greenspan's theories.It is basically a way to get into the mind of an Autistic Child.He also wrote a book called Building Healthy Minds which (if you get it) you will see that this book and "Floortime" are similar.

  Dr. Stanley Greenspan, founder of the DIR/Floortime approach, explains how children with autistic disorders can significantly build their capacity for emotional understanding and interpersonal connections through intensive play.
  ...
  Next up, we hear from Dr. Stanley Greenspan, an American pioneer in autism research and treatment.A co-founder of the Floortime Foundation and a infant and child therapy technique called D.I.R. (Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationship-based)/Floortime, Dr. Greenspan explains that children with Asperger's and other forms of autism appear to have skipped important developmental steps related to emotional signaling.The Floortime approach works with parents and clinicians to ascertain which of these important building blocks need to be supported and modeled so that the child learns to relate to others from within.This is a "monumental" change from behavioral therapies that teach scripts or drill children in rote responses.Those therapies are likely to make an already mechanistic child even more so, Greenspan says.

  Stanley I. Greenspan, a clinical professor of psychiatry at George Washington University states that, " The growing use of medication on their own is a worrisome trend while more and more people on Prozac or Ritalin are becoming bolder and less distractible, at the same time, more and more people are altering their moods without understanding what is happening to them or how it relates to their core personalities."
  
  He also states, "given appropriate nurturing, many affected children may not require medication."University of South Florida Professor of Psychology, Diane McGuinness comments, "The first factor of being put on drugs is to attribute your bad behavior to factors beyond your control.Drugs become a substitute for learning self-discipline.This problem is compounded when children are taken off medication and problem behavior initially rebounds to fantastic proportions.Second, longitudinal studies have confirmed that children on drugs actually deteriorate in academic performance over time.And we must consider the sense of worthlessness most of these young people experience. (McGuinness, 1985).Paul Wender, M.D. lists criteria when beginning medication, he states that a child must first understand why he is receiving medication, yet as Greenspan states above, this isn't always happening.
  ...
  What about self-esteem and confidence, Greenspan acknowledges that creativity can be affected, and Barkley states, " some concern has been raised that diminished self-esteem could be a emanative effect of methylphenidate as children may attribute the source of their success while on medication to external rather than internal factors."

  Even children not in crisis "pick up the mood, the tension, the anxiety - there are no secrets in families," said Stanley Greenspan, professor of child psychiatry and pediatrics at George Washington University."Younger kids tend to be all-or-nothing thinkers.So a healthy 8-year-old is more likely to worry in a more extreme way than an adult."
  
  Greenspan, author of "The Secure Child," said that at times like these, parents need to spend more time with their children.They need to ask their children how much they know about what's going on, then answer questions in an age-appropriate way.They need to find ways for their children to help others."If a child is active in helping make things better, there's less worry," Greenspan said.

  Dr. Stanley Greenspan, a psychiatry professor at George Washington University who co-authored the CDC-Interdisciplinary group report, said the idea is not to slap a label on babies and give them medication.Greenspan said the goal is to raise awareness about early warning signs and to encourage treatment to increase the chances that children can develop normally.
  
  Research on identifying early clues and testing treatments is booming.For example:
  ...
  Greenspan is launching a multimillion-dollar study involving parents and babies at risk for autism or attention deficit disorder.One group will receive intensive behavior training, the other will not; both will be compared through age 5.
  
  While rigorous scientific evidence is needed to prove that early intervention succeeds, Greenspan said his work with patients has shown promise.
