๐ The holiday season is full of excitement, but it can also bring a lot of changes to your childโs routine, which may affect their regulation. ๐ To help your family stay balanced and ready for the festivities, here are some tips from our PEDS King of Prussia OT team:
โจ Use a visual schedule to help your child know what to expect.
โจ Social stories can be great to prepare them for new events.
โจ Donโt forget to take breaks to support their emotional regulation.
โจ Try some wall push-ups or bring a familiar toy to help calm their body.
Wishing you a joyful, regulated holiday season! ๐๐
