Overload



Have you ever felt like your child was doing ok considering all that was going on around him?   Then the “bliss” came to a screeching halt.  The meltdown or shutdown started and there was nothing you could do to stop it.  Why do certain things overload some children and what can we do to help them before overload occurs.  Over the next four Tuesdays, we’ll look over some areas that can cause overload and some strategies that might help.

4.    Visual

Let me know if you have other areas that cause overload in the form of a meltdown or shutdown.  Let’s explore them and see if we can find some solutions.
