Can you easily diffuse the intensity? Can your child self-correct?
What kinds of soothing or calming activities do you use?
WATER? IMAGINATION? SENSORY ACTIVITIES? READING? HUMOR? HUMMING? QUIET TIME?
How can you work with your child to help them recognize and diffuse their own intensity? What does your intensity do to your child's?
