How to improve social skills and how we can make our children connected to the environment

-

Today I am Sharing some information about how to improve social skills and how we can make our children connected to the environment.

Involve your child in all household activities like putting clothes in the washing machine, folding and keeping in the right place, keeping plates to wash in the washbasin, washing plates, arranging plates and spoons, making them participate in festivals, and making them involved in shopping. The most important thing is instead of creating a situation, make opportunities in real time situations.Our life is not only table top activities.When you are taking your child to shops and restaurants, don't look into other people's reactions. You can focus on your child and can provide support to your child. Children may get over excited and hyper. Be patient and try to take things lightly by laughing with your child.Before going you can prepare your child by showing pictures of the shop and with the list of items that you are buying.I started focusing into these from Addu's childhood days and we started with a short duration. Initially it was very difficult for us and we were taking turns to take care of him and do the shopping and all.. Now we have come a long way by gradually involving him in different steps.From June Addu started going offline and from school they sent a list of items to submit in school. I prepared a customised list according to the items they asked and sent Addu for shopping. After shopping I asked him to recheck the list and pack it for school. So that he can relate to his stationeries and can take care of his belongings!!

Memory is the diary we all carry about with us.....

Today, I was driving back home after dropping Addu to Pragati. Due to heavy traffic, vehicles were moving very slowly and I was driving peacefully, listening to music. Addu went happily to Pragati giving a sweet flying kiss to me, and I was driving back with that happiness. Then suddenly, memories started flashing in my mind.  I remembered the time when  I would struggle in this kind of traffic with Addu. There are so many unpleasant memories, and now we have come a long long way. I learned to drive 12 years ago to take Addu to therapies. It was a very difficult time in my life. Everyone was blaming me saying that bad parenting had led to Addu's autism. Not only that, everyone was concerned about my husband's job and how he should be able to focus on his job. So they wanted me to stay elsewhere with the kids so that he could concentrate better. But I wanted to continue in Bangalore to keep myself away from all the negative people. I realized that I was experiencing depression a

Q: Why structure is important for children with autism? Ans: Most of the children in the spectrum have high anxiety and they need predictable routines.
