Holiday mealtimes can be full of joy, but for some kiddos, new foods can be a challenge. Here are some simple ways to help make the experience smoother and more enjoyable! 🥦🍽️
1️⃣ Discuss the holiday menu ahead of time to reduce mealtime surprises.
2️⃣ Let your child eat their preferred foods before the big meal.
3️⃣ Get them involved in grocery shopping and cooking—it’s fun and empowering!
4️⃣ Let them engage at their own pace, even if it's just smelling the food. 🌟
5️⃣ Make it a fun, pressure-free experience. The goal is exploration and comfort! 💚

🎁 Wrapping gifts = building skills! 🎁

🎄 The holiday season is full of excitement, but it can also bring a lot of changes to your child’s routine, which may affect their regulation. 🌀 To help your family stay balanced and ready for the festivities, here are some tips from our PEDS King of Prussia OT team:
✨ Use a visual schedule to help your child know what to expect.
✨ Social stories can be great to prepare them for new events.
✨ Don’t forget to take breaks to support their emotional regulation.
✨ Try some wall push-ups or bring a familiar toy to help calm their body.
Wishing you a joyful, regulated holiday season! 🎉🌟

🛋️✨ Cozy Corners ✨🛋️
The holiday season can be overwhelming for kids, but creating a sensory-friendly “cozy corner” at home can make a big difference! Here are some ideas to help your little ones unwind when they need a moment of calm:
🌈 Alternative Seating: Use bean bags or cushions for a comfy spot.
🌈 Texture Wall: Add different textures for sensory exploration.
🌈 Noise-Canceling Headphones: Block out distractions for a peaceful environment.
🌈 Dimming the Lighting: Soft lighting can help create a calming atmosphere.
🌈 Fidgets: Include pop-its, spinners, or pull straws for tactile fun.
🌈 Sensory Bins/Toy Rings: Engaging sensory play helps kids refocus.
Let’s make cozy corners a special retreat for our kids this holiday season! 🌟🍁
