That’s a great idea! Helps to calm his fight or flight response. I occasionally let me young kids watch a cartoon on the tablet at bathtime too. Since screen time was rare, it was a distracting treat!

He would follow along and scrub whichever part of the body they were singing about. Maybe it made it more fun for him. But it used to be awful we used to feel defeated and helpless too, and wondering if he would ever be able to take showers on his own. He’s still not completely independent but he allows us to shower him now and even helps out! Huge progress!

Class has a play they are practicing
Which is in April. He says he doesn’t

He doesn’t want to go to school or
Music class because of it. Do
Children with SPD have a fear of
Being up on stage and saying a line?
What can I do? What words of
Encouragement can I give him?
Should he have to do this?

We purchased Putty Buddies and it was a game changer. Now she will hold a wash cloth over her eyes, tip her head back slightly while I place one hand at her hair line to keep the water off her face as much as possible, and pour water from a big cup over her hair. We had tried visors, leaning back, putting stickers on the ceiling, leaning forward, etc but she wasn’t able to articulate that water in/near/over her ears was as big a problem as water on her face.
