Ask your child to think of a happy place. Help them create a detailed picture in their mind. Use all the senses to make the scene come alive.

Support

Imitate

Take your child through the steps of what to expect. First, demonstrate on a toy or yourself.  Next, have your child practice on the same toy…or you!
