Does your child struggle with sensory processing? Summer can be a challenging time for kids who get overstimulated by outdoor activities and overwhelmed with transitions. 😰
Check out this blog for tips on how you can make your child feel more comfortable this summer and address their needs. 👇
"Take any situation that’s potentially problematic and do a sensory analysis of it. If taking your kid to the park overwhelms them, think about what sensory triggers might be behind their reaction. Breaking the experience down to its sensory components — the light touch of long grass, the bugs, the noise — can help you and your child figure out how to manage the more difficult parts of the experience before you arrive."

We know that watching upsetting news like this can be hard and frightening for children. Here are some ways to talk to your child about traumatic news events and how you can reassure them, including tips for each age group and for children with autism.
"No matter what age or developmental stage your child is, you can start by asking what they've already heard. Most children will have heard something, no matter how old they are. After you ask them what they've heard, ask what questions they have and how they feel about what's happened.
Older children, teens, and young adults might ask more questions. They may ask for and benefit more from additional information. But no matter what age your child is, it's best to keep the dialogue straightforward and direct."
