Christmas is often portrayed as a time of joy, magic, and togetherness, but for children with additional needs, the Christmas period can also bring unique challenges. Our CDNTs would like to share these 4 tips to support your child this Christmas. ???? ?Tip #1 Melissa our Family rep says: Try not to compare the Christmas you’re having to the storybook version you think everyone else is having. Remember-comparison is the thief of joy! ?Tip #2 Maintain Routines — as Much as Possible: Creating a visual schedule, involve your child in planning and balancing activities by allowing for downtime before and after high-energy events to help them recharge. ?Tip #3 Simplify Opening Presents- For children who struggle with fine motor skills, reduce frustration by adjusting presents and cards. Loosen ribbons, unseal envelopes, and minimise sellotape so your child can feel successful with little frustration. Unwrap at their own pace: Let your child decide when and how they want to open gifts, even if it means spacing them out over a few days or opening them in their safe space. ?Tip # 4 Educating family and friends: Share information about your child’s needs, sensitivities, and preferences to help others understand their experiences.

Here is more info about the three tips: 1. Are you wondering what stone soup is? It’s a vegetable soup that you can make in your class or at home - and you start with a stone! Of course, the stone isn’t to eat. It’s to re-enact the story of "Stone Soup" by Marsha Brown: “three hungry soldiers… outwit the greedy inhabitants of a village into providing them with a feast” (Goodreads). Read the book and then cook your own soup with the children. At school, this is a great cooperative activity that can involve all the children's families as they each contribute an ingredient to the soup. The children can safely cut the vegetables using a pumpkin-carving knife, which has a dull blade that won’t cut little fingers. My 4-year-old class of preschoolers really enjoyed this activity. If you try it, you may want to invite the families to join the children for your own stone soup feast! 2. Here are some more books about winter your children may enjoy: -The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats -Snow by Roy McKie and P.D. Eastman -The Mitten (Ukrainian folktale) book by Jan Brett -Snowballs by Lois Ehlert -Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson -Snow is Falling by Franklyn Branley 3. Here’s another fun activity with lights and shadows: Clip three shop lights (one red, one blue, and one green, then shine on a white wall. If you make the light streams intersect, you’ll be able to make different colors of shadows. It’s so cool! ??Want more ideas?
