Hearing my first orders to her panicked and started trying to roll out from under my foot. Her feet were kicking wildly as she tried desperately to escape. I slowly increased the weight I was putting on my foot. The more she struggled the harder I pressed down on her. I could tell it was getting harder for her to breathe and knew she would pass out soon. Not wanting her to be unconscious again so soon, I told her calmly
“Stop struggling or I will break your ribs”
That seemed to do the trick because she stopped struggling immediately.
“Much better. Now when I remove my foot I want you to remain flat on your back and not move at all.” I told her in a calm but firm tone.
Slowly I lifted my foot off her chest and stood with one foot on either side of her stomach. She seems stayed perfectly still barely even daring to breathe.
“Very good!” I told her encouragingly “See it’s not so hard. Just do as you're told.”
I walked over to a nearby table covered in toys making sure she heard my footsteps heading away. I quickly picked out the toy I need for what I wanted to do next then turned to see if she was still obeying my last command.
