Dear Mrs Berndsen,
We, the Wiegand family, would like to thank you once again for your commitment and your great help.
The FaceFormer training helps Max and Maja a lot, as well as myself against my snoring by the way. Since we have managed to integrate the training into our everyday life and we do our exercises regularly, Max has hardly any ear problems and Maja’s jaw pains are as good as gone. My wife can now sleep undisturbed again, as I rarely bother her with my snoring anymore.
Since we often had the topic of motivation during the therapies, I thought you might be interested to know how we solved this. Your tip to quietly reduce the training to twice a day was the decisive factor, because the children (and honestly, I too) could accept this much easier.
I made an agreement with my children and introduced a reward system that has worked very well so far:
We have been practicing together for almost 7 weeks, always in the morning before school and in the evening after dinner. For this we stand together in the hallway in front of our big mirror. I set the 6-second rhythm by counting my fingers and record the number of exercises with the hand counter.
We note the training units including the nightly application in the calendar. If the children have trained regularly for a week, you can choose a movie from an online video streaming service at the weekend. Each successful month is rewarded with a visit to the cinema. Now, when we have the two months full in just under two weeks, we will go to a climbing park together. And for the final goal, after six months, I have promised to come up with something very special. Of course I reward myself in a similar way, for example every Sunday with a thick piece of cake. At the end of the six months we will probably have a short holiday, because now I don’t bother anybody anymore if we all share a hotel room.
Thank you again for your help and all the best and love for you. Best regards to Dr. Berndsen.
Kind regards from your family Wiegand
