This looks like a great game to have on hand at home to help your kids with big feelings. I plan to have one in my office as well.

Sing, act & tell stories to help DardaCat manage big feelings, and understand your child better along the way.

Did you know that children with autism are at heightened risk for anxiety and anxiety disorders?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anxiety can show up in many different ways, and for children who aren't able to verbalize these feelings, it may come out in behaviors. Symptoms of anxiety may look different from person to person. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is normal to have some level of anxiety, however, when it begins to interfere with the ability to function and live a normal life, it can be diagnosed as a formal mood disorder. You should work with a child psychologist or psychiatrist to diagnose and form a treatment plan if you think your child may have anxiety. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nutrition can play a huge role in managing anxiety and targeting potential root causes. We have all of our dietary, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations listed in the Autism Nutrition Library to help you help your child feel their best. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is great info for anyone but written especially for teachers. It breaks down what children look and act like in survival mode; fight, flight, freeze and submit. Do you recognize your child in any of these descriptions?

Do you recognize yourself in any of these categories? We all have little (and big) traumas we have not dealt with in life. Finding a healthy way to reprocess those hurts can free you and make you a better parent, spouse, etc.
