Holiday gift-giving can be challenging. But it’s especially hard to buy for our kids on the spectrum who might not completely “get” the whole gift giving and receiving traditions. What if your child isn’t even interested in playing with toys? In this episode, Janeen covers what’s worked (and not worked) for her own family as well as some of her very favorite items that might work for you.
In this episode you will discover:
- How to consider your child’s needs when giving them a gift.
- How you can prepare your child for receiving a gift.
- Why our kids might have trouble navigating the holiday gift-giving tradition.
- Some of Janeen’s family’s favorite items that have stood the test of time.
