25.01.2022 Casey Young.... not great but explains how the little pays you. He loves you the most!!!

24.01.2022 Autistic individuals carry skillsets that can add value to our academic, social, career, political and legal systems. It is important to understand their streng...ths and facilitate them to flourish in areas that require their strenghts. Here are few of the super powers that an individual with autism may have. There are many more but here's something to start with. #kindtheory #notdisableddifferentlyabled #inclusiveandenabled #autism #autismawareness #differentlyabled #inclusion #acceptance #autism #autismacceptance #autismmom #autismfamily #asd #specialneeds #Kindtheory #autismlife #autismlove #autismsupport #autistic #autismspectrum #autismspectrumdisorder #autismo #aspergers #autismparents #autismdad #disability #sensoryprocessingdisorder #differentnotless #autismparents

22.01.2022 You can only do your best!

22.01.2022 The need to feel safe is primal. We’re wired to fight or flee anything that presents itself as a threat - and shame, punishment, judgement, exclusion, humiliati...on all count as threat, even if they come with loads of love. . When our kids or teens mess up - which they will, because they’re humans not robots - the way we respond can open them up to our influence or shut them down to it. It can expand the fight and the disconnection, or it can shrink it. In time they will learn to be more in control of their urge for or flight, but for now, we will need to lead the way. (Of course, we are also human, and sometimes despite our biggest efforts to stay calm, we will step into the ring rather than wait for them to step out. We’re human. It’s going to happen. And that’s okay.) . If we want them to be open to our influence, we first need to calm their active amygdala (the seat of anxiety and big emotion) by sending the message that we aren’t a threat. We can do this by validating their feelings or the need behind their behaviour (if we know what that is). . Validation doesn’t mean agreeing with them, and it doesn’t mean approving of their behaviour. What it means is letting them know that we want to understand the world through their lens. ‘I can see you’re really upset about this.’ ‘It sounds as though you’re worried I’m going to get in your way. I can see this is important to you. I really want to understand. Can you talk to me about this?’ . When we do this, it sends a message to the protective, powerful, emotional amygdala that it’s safe and that it can back down. This will start to switch off the need to fight us or flee (ignore) us and open them up to our influence, support, warmth and guidance. . It also doesn’t mean giving them a free pass on ‘unadorable’ behaviour. What it means is letting them know that we see them, and that we understand there is something important they need. When things are calm, they will be much more open to exploring their decisions, their behaviour, the consequences of that (including any consequences for them), and what they can do differently in the future.

20.01.2022 For the families with older cherubs!

19.01.2022 Sometimes silence means 'I don't have anything to say.' Sometimes it means, 'I have plenty to say but I don't want to share it right here and right now.' We all... need certain things to feel safe enough to put ourselves into the world. Kids with anxiety are thoughtful, observant and insightful, and their wisdom will always have the potential to add something important to the world for all of us. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFLiVePnwzN/?igshid=wa31y6w944mb

10.01.2022 I love this book.

10.01.2022 Many people have kids with Sensory Processing Disorder and don't know there's a reason for their behaviors (and believe it or not, many adults have it and don't... know... that was me a few years ago! ) So... here's a post explaining it a little bit. ***Note that SPD is complicated and can look different in every person who has it. This is a list of POSSIBLE ways it can manifest... and it's important to note that many who have it exhibit a mix of responses from both sides.*** You can download a printable version of this and find some more SPD resources at nicolefilipponeauthor.com #sensorystories #sensorysupport #sensorylife #sensoryavoider #sensorysensitive #sensoryseeker #sensoryseeking #sensoryanxiety #spdawareness #sensoryprocessingdisorder #sensoryprocessingdisorderparentsupport #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismsupport #autismeducation #autismspectrum #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #neurodiversityacceptance #occupationaltherapy #otforkids #occupationaltherapist

07.01.2022 Swinging is more than just fun for kids....

05.01.2022 The meltdown is never, ever the problem - it’s only *ever* the biproduct of something else that’s going on. Something silently bubbling away below the surface. ...Survival mode. Survival mode is triggered by a brain that doesn’t quite feel in control - and given our fast paced, expectation based, outcomes focused, highly populated, sensory dense, information overloaded, modern Western lifestyle. (Not to mention 2020!) It’s no *wonder* all of us, children and adults alike, are experiencing more meltdowns than ever before. It’s our day to day lifestyle that determines how our brain copes with life, and so to support our children’s behaviours the very best we can we need to move away from behaviour management and towards day to day regulatory opportunities. True for our children, true for ourselves, true for our brain. Because children never ever chose the meltdown, survival mode was the culprit all along. Xxx (Wanna dig more deeply into this topic?
