Day after the 4th

Hi everyone. How did your children fair last night? If you found some tools that work, congratulations!!! If not, try having your child watch fireworks on your phone WITHOUT sound. Then watch again with a little sound . Slowly increase the length of the show, the length of the sound and the volume on your […]

Fourth of July 2024

Happy Fourth of July everyone. Please visit my Facebook page, Daylightbuzz, to see a video of just some suggestions I have when you are trying to celebrate the fourth with your child who is very sensory overloaded.

Adding a quick post before the night is over. It doesn’t matter how young or old your child is. Parents know them best and are an integral part of their child’s success. Attend that meeting in person, on Zoom , or over the phone. It might seem intimidating, but it’s important you be a part […]

My draft post was saying it was Monday today. I literally just was in my house planning my Tuesday, which was going to be tomorrow. Now I’ve missed everything scheduled for Tuesday because it’s already happened. So what happens when you take the girl out of the school system? All track of time is lost. […]

June 1st

Today is my first day of summer vacation. There are so many things that I want to organize and plan. First, I need to rest and recharge. It’s been a year of constant time frames and rushing around.

So tired

I did not take my own advice and take it easier over the weekend to get ready for school tomorrow. It’s five after eight and I am soo tired. I could probably go to sleep right now, but I would probably be up at 2 o’clock instead of 5 o’clock. I hope you thought ahead, […]

Friday Funday begins!!! You’ve had a packed week hopefully doing some really fun things. Use today as a day that your child gets to pick what to do. Give some choices. You don’t want to be boxed into a corner where you promised something and then can’t deliver. That can cause a huge meltdown and […]

Day 6 of vacation.

Well, your kids have been home more vacation days than still allotted. Today could be a journal day. Your younger kids can draw pictures of their experiences on vacation. Older kids can journal their experiences. This helps them get grounded and remember school is coming soon. I sent home a journal one summer for students […]
