Therapy for the Therapist

FabuRocks Podcast

So, we now have the equipment and software and are ready to take it to the next level!! Quickly we found that making DIY gummy videos was taking us too much time. We ended up more stressed than ever before. Fabu would start off very motivated to help but soon would lose interest and leave us making the gummy while she went off to watch TV or play. The good news was that we were still getting good results but needed to make some changes. By this point, we knew that the recipe for therapeutic success was creating the YouTube videos, not so much the actual content of the video. So, we started to look for what content would be next. We asked Fabu for other things that interested her and what she would like to do for her following videos. At that time, Fabu watched several channels that did toy unboxing videos and excitedly told us that she wanted to do it herself. We watched several of these videos and decided to take a trip to ToysRus. Yes, ToysRUs was still open at that time. We discovered many adorable new collectible toys like the Shopkins, Unicornios, Twozies, Squinkies dew drops, and so many others. What we found the most interesting was that each of the little toys had a specific name. We believed that her ability to pronounce each of the little toys' names would be an excellent therapeutic tool for her to practice and find fun and engaging. To keep Fabu engaged, we decided to switch up filming from home and go out to a new location. We knew that recording at home sometimes ended with us being frustrated due to the long hours. We wanted to improve the mood by making it fun and going to different places like the park and Chuck e cheese. This was when we started making toy unboxing videos.
