There are so many little things that can make a big difference when you're parenting children with challenges. I thought it might be helpful to start a thread where we could share the strategies that work for us.
For example, my child has sensory processing difficulties, and busy public places can be really overwhelming for them. I've found that bringing along a fidget toy or some chewable jewelry helps them stay grounded and calm in those situations. It's like having a bit of their comforting home environment with them wherever they go!
What are some of your go-to strategies for parenting challenges? Could be anything, from dealing with meltdowns to encouraging self-care skills - share your tips!
