What a super visual! Thanks The Therapist Parent 😊

There is so much more to behaviour than most people think. Children don’t try to upset us, there is usually something behind it. They are communicating their need through behaviour. If we look behind the behaviour we can see a child who is doing the best they can

Holiday Bow Sensory Bin 🤩🎄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are bows that have been sitting in my Christmas gift wrap tub for years. Most are crushed and sad looking, others are just not a color I ever reach for when wrapping. I tossed in a few new bows with amazing texture and fun shimmery patterns to elevate the sad, squashed ones 😆

What are you putting in your sensory bins this month? I'm always open to fresh Ideas!
