Four Visual Aids to Manage Your Child's Behaviors and Increase Attention Span
We've all been there- you are trying to complete a fun activity with your child or student and you can't seem to get them sit still for long enough to finish pasting one petal on a flower. You start off with a kind, sweet voice and within 5 minutes you're ready to pull hair out and yell" ENOUGH!! SIT DOWN AND JUST LISTEN TO MEEEEEEEEE!!" What if I told you it doesn't have to get to that point. You can get through the day without having a major meltdown. It simply requires some planning and to keep it 100, time and practice. Yes, I know, we all want the quick fix but we both know it never lasts. Yelling at the top of your lungs may work two or three times, but eventually, your child will start ignoring you. Actually, you might even end up on the receiving end of hysterical shouts, because kids do have a knack for imitating the wrong things!
