July Topic: “Using a relationship-based approach to decrease behavior problems, improve self-control, and improve coping among children with ASD”
The purpose of this presentation is to reflect on ways to support our children to decrease behavior problems, improve self-control, and improve coping through a relationship-based approach. Due to autism, sensory processing challenges, and other possible trauma, our children often experience intense and confusing emotions. They may feel anxious, confused, frustrated, defeated, embarrassed, incompetent, etc. Yet, supporting children to effectively understand and manage their emotions is often not emphasized. By using the relationship we have with our children, we can create a space and time to reflect on emotions, model powerful ways to manage difficult situations, and support children to maintain better self-regulation during challenging situations. This approach can not only support regulation, but set the stage for growth and improve the quality of life for the entire family.
