@merpreb , my soninlove does this very thing for my young Grandson.

What we try to do is have these practices in place before a melt down.

With scheduling and inclusion of these simple to use practices, eventually the number of meltdowns we experience is drastically reduced. With these protocols in place at school and at home, working together, the child eventually learns how to self regulate. She has confidence that she can do what the other kids do. Maybe we have to work at it ten times as much as the NT children. But that's only because your typical school setting is outfitted with only the Neurotypical student in mind. We think outside the box. Sooner or later, that kind of thinking is rewarded.

More to come.

Love and light,
Mamacita Jane
