This is a great regulation hack cheers The Contented Child, Child Wellbeing Consultancy

Sometimes when a child feels anxious, their brain gets stuck in a loop of worrying thoughts.

Their mind keeps going round and round, and it can be hard for them to switch their attention to something else.

One small trick some children find helpful is sucking a sour sweet. The sharp, surprising taste can interrupt the worry cycle and give the brain something new to focus on. That sudden sensory jolt can help the brain pause for a moment and reset.

It’s not a cure for anxiety, but simple sensory tools like this can sometimes help a child shift out of a spiral and find their way back to calm.

Small strategies can make a big difference when big feelings take over.

If you’re supporting a child with big emotions or anxiety, the Managing Big Feelings Toolkit includes practical strategies, scripts, and regulation tools - link in comments below ⬇️ or via Linktree Shop in Bio.

Are you a recently diagnosed autistic adult? Check out Reframing Autism welcome pack to support you 💜

Looking back, it can be painful to remember all the times you were hard on yourself for struggling, for finding things difficult, for not fitting the expectations you were told to meet.

A later Autism diagnosis doesn’t erase those experiences - it doesn’t change your story. What it does do is help you understand it, see it with compassion, and finally give yourself the kindness you deserved all along. 💛

Our Welcome Pack is here to support you! 🌟 Designed for newly diagnosed Autistic adults, it offers guidance, reflection, and practical tips to help you navigate life after diagnosis - and feel welcomed into our community. 🔗 You can access the Welcome Pack here: https://reframingautism.org.au/service/welcome-pack/
