ROUTINES AND SOCIAL STORIES

ROUTINES AND SOCIAL STORIES

Children cope better when their parents are resilient and have strong social supports.  So take time for yourself and your own mental well-being.  Try to establish a “new normal” in terms of daily routines. Children tend to like predictability and routines.   It might help to make a daily schedule while schools are closed so that kids know what will happen during the day and when it will happen.  Social stories about COVID-19 use pictures for children with communication challenges.  Talk with your speech therapist.  https://littlepuddins.ie/coronavirus-social-story/
