The only thing different was in my training they had me cross my arms and not cross the childs. They had us hold the child's wrist in what they called a handcuff hold, not hard enough to bruise, but they could not get loose. I was in a school situation and our rule was we had to sit on the floor holding the child as described leaning on a wall or the side of a bookshelf and facing an open door. I tell you the looks I got from parents of normal kids who walked by in the hall while I held a screaming, cussing six year old like that. Our rules were we could not have any of the child's bones crossing each other. Something about the possibility of a broken bone, but the same rules were used for older kids.
