Many of my clients like things to be ordered to help them regulate and calm. At the end of a busy day at school, one of my clients loved spending time sorting these water beads. They first sorted by individual colour, then two colours mixed together. She then laid out the beads in these sections in the picture. Not only did the cool tactile feeling of the water beads provide some regulating sensory import., but the process of sorting and organising helped to clear their mind. It also allowed some gentle conversation and questions to be explored. Do you or your child have something that you like sorting as a regulating tool? Sorting Lego or untangling things are other examples.
