Speech Club and Mad Libs Monday

This is so simple, yet powerful. I could use this for my (adult!) self! 🙂 I love your blog.
Yep! My kids really struggle with this. Especially with each other…
Oh my goodness, I may have to print this out for my son. Question though, seeing that my son is autistic, as I assume that at least some of the childre you work with are, does the “big breath” picture throw any of them? It seems to me, my son would focus more on the fact that the kid is swimming than breathing.
LOVE the simplicity of this!
Hey there, haven’t been by in a bit so I clicked on your name from an old post when I saw it. I love this therapy. This applies to just not getting our way too. Love it. Must. Remember.
This post is so fantastic. I think I need to print it out for my boy. He takes things SO hard. This might help him come out of his panic and give him something to focus on when this situation comes up.
Sometimes that may be a blessing in disguise. 🙂
I’d choose you!!! 🙂
That is such a great way to handle things though … good, good advice!
CC! Thanks so much for re-posting the link on my blog. My son LOVED it!!!!! I think we may be investing in that DVD for Christmas! 🙂
So simple and so true.
This is great – helpful in its simplicity. Thanks 🙂
