Parenting: Communication methods

My son is obsessed with Buzz Lightyear and Nemo. He continuously liked to watch both movies. His therapist would tell us to limit screen time but I actually feel that screen time helped him. When we would watch these movies, he started to learn every single word or try to say every single word. It got to the point where he would say little lines from the movie while we were in the car or playing. I would say the phrase back to him, really slow, and enunciate the words so he could try to say them more clearly. I would also buy toys featuring the characters in the movie, for example, a ball with Buzz Lightyear and teach him the words for items like that.

She gets very overwhelmed by her daily experiences and her emotional responses to those experiences. I started helping her when I would see her become overwhelmed by having her express what she was feeling and experiencing. It helps her quite a bit, so I started trying to have her talk through what she was dealing with before she would get to the meltdown point. And trying to teach her to check in with herself multiple times a day, so she could learn to self-regulate and let all the negative emotions out. 

This has helped reduce the amount of total meltdowns she has, and reduced her overall frustration, anger, and sadness.
