Show Notes
How do we become better at helping kids with self regulation struggles? Kids are going to struggle more during the holidays! There is often more change during this season than any other. There are school breaks, holiday parties, cooking, shopping, stress, cold, and more.
In this episode Jennie and Lynn discuss some tips parents can use to maintain as much consistency as possible.
1. Scheduling Time for your child in age appropriate blocks. Be sure to include fun time, heavy play, meals and chores.
2. Use a visual chart so that kids can see what is going to happen.
