I have a dcb that stayed home most of last week. His dog bit him 10 days ago, they spent a long time in the emergency room waiting for stitches. He catches everything! So he has been really sick and hasn't been here much. He's good enough to come tomorrow, and his hand has healed really well. So here's my question. He hasn't opened his hand willingly since the stitches. We think it's a comfort thing? That's his dominant hand, he uses it for eating, etc. So he doesn't want to feed himself, etc. (He's almost two.) Would you gently work with him to open his hand more often, or would you ignore it and wait for him to start using it on his own?
