Relieve the Christmas Holiday Anxieties with a Social Story
The holiday season often changes EVERYTHING for our households. Our schedules, what we eat, what we wear, who we are with, and what we do. Of course, it brings anxiety! Kids get tired, stressed and hungry during these times too. Why shouldn’t we prepare and inform all kids of the changes and transitions that are about to occur? If your child benefits from social stories, we have rounded up some printable sociable stories for you that you can adapt for your child. They not only will help your child have a more fun filled and enjoyable Christmas, but you and all your family.
Attached is also information on what a social story is and tips on how to write them with your child.
If you want to discuss how these through please contact Mrs Mulholland or stop her in the playground and she will be able to talk you through how to create a social story for your child.
Please click on the buttons today for more information and useful tips.
