Is it possible? Of course! Take note that we are going to give you some tips that can help you during this time and surely at other holiday times for your nonverbal children.
In Spain we are already in summer and it is a time when the days begin to become unstructured, the temperature, the spaces, the objects that surround us change a lot... Without realizing it, there are many changes and for this reason, I have considered it important to give you some tips… take note!
Always keep one routine no matter how small it is, it makes you feel safe, it makes you feel that there is something that remains.
But keep in mind that it's also important to be able to adapt to new circumstances, and sometimes we have to forgive ourselves if we change that structure and arm ourselves with twice as much patience to make sure our children don't go with it.
We will observe very well the adaptation to new spaces. Moments of the beach, the mountains, going to a relative's house appear on the scene... where we change everything around us, where we sleep, where we eat, the things we handle. These are moments of high stress, where anxiety generally rises, and we have to do a lot of support.
Above all, try to read how our child is experiencing each moment, identify which ones don't seem to affect them, which ones they even seem to enjoy, and which ones they find unpleasant and provoke rejection and unsustainable activity. All of these moments are highly experimental and will greatly help us educate our children in other situations, which we don't have the opportunity to experience during the year. So, try to experience them from this experimental perspective and support your children. If there are sensory issues with sand, if excessive heat is a factor in your children's well-being, always try to keep them in cool places at certain times of the day.
Also take into account the issue of clothes who is very busy with the heat issue. To do this, try dressing them very lightly to ensure they stay comfortable and cool.
