Organization is key
According to experts, a common reason why parents experience stress and frustration is that they feel like they’re losing control.
To get things back on track, be as organized as possible. Prepare a list of things to do within the week or day and rank them by priority. Also, don’t hesitate to ask for assistance from your friends and family.
One interesting strategy to get things done is to incorporate a family routine in your tasks. For instance, assign chores to your family members, including your child with ASD. Have them hang the clothes, set the table, wash the plates, water the plants, or vacuum the floor.
Carefully plan your family activities
Parenting a child with autism might mean you need to modify family activities to cater to your little one’s needs; however, it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun!
To enjoy family activities, carefully plan the details.
Let’s say your child ASD doesn’t like being in the car for long. Why not pick a place close to home? If they love water activities but get agitated in crowded places, consider resorts where you need to book your appointment.
