Traditionally, Guy Fawkes night is spent heading out to the local park dressed up as snug as a bug, braving the bitter cold and marvelling at the fireworks all while attempting to soak up the heat of the nearest bonfire. For parents of children with special needs, Bonfire Night can often bear some challenges.
Common anxiety can usually arise from being dressed in unfamiliar clothing. More severe dressing concerns revolve around uncomfortable fabrics with lots of fiddly bits and buttons. These little morning bugbears can get amplified when your little ones feel hurried due to running out of time.
January is a bleak month for many but can be worse for families of special needs children. Make plans for the year, book a day out. Fundraise or organize a small local event your special needs child will enjoy.
