How do I calm your emotionally disturbed child?
When it comes to the emotional problems of children with autism, many parents often feel helpless to do anything about it.
But while autism may take away a child’s ability to express themselves verbally and their cognitive understanding, it does not in any way take away their innate joy.
So what can we do to help our autistic children regulate their emotions?
5. But if it is not one of the above when your child is crying in the middle of the night, you should take your child to the hospital for the relevant tests. See if a physical illness causes it and make timely adjustments under the guidance of your doctor.
6. When a child is diagnosed with a disease, parents should do a good job of corrective training, take more time to communicate with their child, and teach them how to run their own lives.
7. Also, pay attention to variety in your child’s diet, and you can choose foods that are easy to digest and absorb.
When a child cries, we must be careful not to ignore it. At this time, we should give the child enough security to consolidate a sense of trust and closeness, thus easing the child’s emotions.
Emotions exist for all people, including you, if you face distress.
Children with autism have some degree of impairment in thinking, communication, and interpersonal relationships. Therefore, it is easy for them to lose control of their emotions when their demands are not met.
Sadly, their outbursts go beyond crying and jumping and may accompany aggressive and self-harming behavior.
Nevertheless, it is important not to stifle emotions when they arise. Patiently guide them and allow the child to release their emotions rather than suppress them, which may lead to more serious behavior.
Many things in life affect our emotions, and everyone chooses to release them differently.
So what can we do to help children with autism who are unable to allow their emotions to be fully released?
The Natural Context Approach is a method of teaching children with autism in a natural educational and home environment to develop their initiative and natural behavioral skills.
This teaching and teaching environment method is one of the most commonly used today. It has no hard and fast standards and can easily be done at home. It is very helpful in enhancing the child’s ability to learn and reducing their resistant behavior.
Constrains the child’s behavior to improve or remove autistic and maladaptive behaviors and helps them to form good daily routines or relevant professional skills.
This constraint is a form of restraint for the child and may trigger rebelliousness. Guide patiently and persevere, and you will see your child grow.
Give your child a paintbrush and allow them to express their emotions through drawing while simultaneously gaining relief and satisfaction from the process, thus achieving a diagnostic and therapeutic effect.
Allow your child to express themselves and release their emotions by free playing an instrument to achieve their goals.
Advocates of cuddle therapy believe that gentle or forceful cuddling can reduce an autistic child’s allergic reaction to physical contact and repetitive self-harming behavior.
Cuddling gives the child a sense of security and allows them to feel safe rather than in a constant state of panic.
Children with autism have developmental deficits in many areas, so they often need more care and training, but this is not straightforward. As far as possible, family members are guided to recognize and help children with autism with the professional counseling of a social worker so that their psychological needs can be dealt with promptly and appropriately.
The development of the balance reflex is delayed due to the young child’s inadequate inhibition of the primitive reflexes, causing severe abnormalities in the body’s responses, resulting in impairments in perceptual functioning and attention, and affecting the ability to feel self-conscious about their body and their psychological self-esteem. Training is provided in the coordination of sensory and perceptual information with each other, balance, touch, proprioception, language development, and vestibular awareness.
Finding the cause of emotional outbursts is a problem faced by almost all parents of children with autism. Emotional outbursts are not nice, but please don’t try to avoid them; teaching and helping your child to relieve them is the most important thing.
