Social stories are simple, creative narratives designed to teach children how to handle specific situations, understand social norms, or manage emotions. Think of them as little life guides that help kids feel prepared and reduce anxiety about what’s coming next. They’re tailored to your child’s age and needs and can include words, pictures, or interactive elements – whatever resonates most with your little one.
Kids learn best when they’re engaged on multiple levels. A multisensory approach brings stories to life by involving all their senses – sight, sound, touch, and sometimes even smell or taste! This makes the experience more memorable, fun, and effective.
