All Things Early Intervention
Parenting is hard! Finding the balance between preparing for the worst and being the worst is hard. On bad days, it looks like being so afraid of your child acting like a monster you act like a monster instead. This is the story of my parenting tantrum.
Gross motor heavy work is hard to do during a bath, but fine motor heavy work is doable. After providing him with the following activities, his need for sensory input was satisfied by the work with his hands and exposure to texture.
I found myself telling him to stop and keep his hands to himself all day long. He did NOT understand. He was a sweet boy that tried his hardest, but bless his heart, he would not stop touching everything and everybody.
Having these little ones in our home was an absolute blessing, but it wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows. It stretched our family unit in ways we never imagined. Little Monkey’s unpredictable nature and the daily routines of parenthood made for an emotionally charged environment.
When a child is having difficulty changing her behavior, try changing the environment.
