Sensory Regulation Stragegies - Video Examples video transcript

In this video you can watch videos showing examples of sensory activities that you can try when playing together with your child at home.

 

Here are two examples of alerting activities: bouncing on a ball and swinging in a sheet. These are fun activities, easy to do, and engaging, to get your child’s best attention, just before you want them to concentrate. Either just before playing a game with them, getting them to sit for a meal, or doing an activity at the table.

 

 

Song: “[Name] is bouncing, bouncing, bouncing, [Name] is bouncing, on the ball. 5,4,3,2,1, whoosh!”

 

 

Song “Okay, ready, steady, go! [Name] is swinging, swinging, swinging, [Name] is swinging, up, up, up, [Name] is swinging, swinging, swinging, [Name] is swinging, up, up, up. 5,4,3,2,1, finished!”

 

These are nice examples of calming activities which are easy to do at home. Try them. Your child will let you know if they like or dislike them, by either relaxing into it, and wanting more of it, or by trying to get away. Don’t force them, but try to find the one that works best for them.

 

 

“Squeeze, lie down, head down, head down, squeeze, squeeze”.

 

 

“Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze”

 

Rolling up in a mat “Ready, steady, go! [Name] is rolling, rolling, rolling, [Name] is rolling, up, up, up. [Name] is unrolling, unrolling, unrolling, [Name] is unrolling, and finished!”

 

 

“Ready, steady, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze!”
