Navigating The Holidays With A Sensory Child - Part 2

Holiday Activities with a Sensory Twist:

Sensory-Friendly Decorations: Opt for decorations with calming textures and colors, avoiding flashing lights and loud music. 🌟

Sensory-Friendly Crafts: Choose activities with predictable textures and smells, such as play dough,glitter glue, or paint.🎨

Sensory-Friendly Clothing: Dress your child in comfortable clothes they can move freely in, avoiding itchy fabrics or tight fits.👚

Sensory-Friendly Meals: Offer familiar foods and avoid introducing too many new dishes at once.Utilize divided plates to separate different textures and tastes.🍓

Sensory-Friendly Gift-Giving: Consider gifting sensory-stimulating toys, such as fidget spinners,weighted blankets, or textured balls.🧸

Remember:
Every child is unique, and their sensory needs will vary.♥️
✅Adapt these tips to fit your child's individual preferences and challenges.

✅Be patient and understanding. Sensory overload can be frustrating for children.

✅Focus on creating positive and enjoyable experiences for your child during the holidays.

Raising a child with sensory processing issues can be challenging, but don't worry! Healing Synergy is here to help with some friendly tips:

1. Predictability is Key: 🧡

Visual Schedule: Create a daily schedule using pictures or words, depending on your child's age. This will help them anticipate what's coming next and reduce anxiety.

Prepare for Activities: Before a potentially challenging activity, like brushing teeth or bedtime, create a specific visual schedule with step-by-step instructions.

Sensory Diet: This personalized plan incorporates calming and stimulating activities throughout the day to regulate their sensory needs.

2. Communication and Processing: 🧡

Visual Aids: Use pictures in schedules and instructions, as children with sensory issues often learn best visually.

Repetition is Okay: When your child repeats a question, it's their way of processing information. Offer alternative solutions like pre-recorded schedules or access to the schedule at any time.

Sensory Triggers: If you know a place has potential triggers, discuss it beforehand and pack calming items like noise-canceling headphones or fidgets.

3. Sensory Exploration: 🧡

Gradual Exposure: Introduce your child to challenging sensations in controlled settings. Model the desired action and support them as they explore.

Desensitization: Let your child play with objects they fear, like vacuum cleaners, to help them overcome their anxiety.

Coping Mechanisms: Teach your child healthy coping strategies for sensory discomfort, like using headphones or taking a break.

Remember, consistency and patience are key! By understanding your child's sensory needs and providing support, you can help them thrive. 🧡✨

Navigating The Holidays With A Sensory Child - Part 1 🧡✨🎄

Planning and Preparation:

Visual schedules: Create a visual schedule with pictures or icons to communicate upcoming activities and transitions, helping children anticipate changes and feel more in control. 🗓️

Sensory story: Write a social story about the holiday traditions, decorations, sounds, and smells, allowing children to visualize and process the sensory experiences beforehand. 📖

Quiet space: Designate a quiet space away from the holiday hustle-bustle where your child can retreat for sensory breaks and relaxation. 🤫

Comfort items: Pack familiar items like fidget toys, noise-canceling headphones, weighted blankets, or sensory bottles to help your child self-regulate when overwhelmed. 🧸

Gradual introduction: Introduce holiday decorations and traditions gradually, allowing your child to adjust to the new sensory stimuli.🎄

Every child is unique, and their sensory needs will vary. Adapt these tips to fit your child's individual preferences and challenges. 🥰

Have a happy and sensory-friendly holiday season! ✨🎁🌟

AOTA Past President Mary Foto, OT, FAOTA, CCM, Passes Away | AOTA For half a century, Mary Foto worked to ensure occupational therapy was considered a key health profession, both nationally and throughout the 3rd party payor industry.

"Kavitha, you were a lifesaver for my son Aaron Rodriguez. You taught him how to manage his sensory integration disorder through simple exercises and techniques, which reduced his anxiety and helped him thrive. You also helped me, his mother, to become a better advocate for him and to educate others about sensory integration. When we first started seeing you, I never thought Aaron would be graduating from college. He always remembers you and how patient, loving, and dedicated you were to helping him with everything from the classroom to the baseball field to home. Thank you so much, Kavitha. We are forever grateful."
