Does your child find it difficult to complete some activities, requests or skills that you know they can? Try build up their confidence by getting them to complete easier actions or requests.

When completing easier tasks it reduces frustration levels, because they are having success on easy tasks, increasing the likelihood that they will try harder activities or requests. Once they are happily responding then try the more difficult task. If it doesn't work the first time, don’t worry, just try again!

This helps with many activities and requests and is super helpful with transitioning.

Children may be feeling more anxious at the moment due to the changes in routine from being off school. Visual supports increase understanding and independence. They have shown to reduce anxiety as children know what is expected of them and what is happening during the day.

Very importantly, visual supports allow time for language processing, as verbal instructions need to be remembered whereas visual supports can be there to serve as a reminder or to allow the child to process and understand the information.

Sometimes people might associate visual supports with younger children or children with more complex needs but that is not the case. Visual supports are a super addition to any child or adult, one example is using a shopping list to remember what you need to purchase when doing the grocery's.

Visual supports can be an object, a picture, written text etc. depending on the individual needs of your child.
