Peer Activities

It is good to engage your child in a peer activity because it will challenge your child and feel better about themselves and have more confidence in themselves. It can be as simple as going to a playground. Do not engage any play with the child. Let the child check out the playground first. Then you take them a second time with a ball or a fun object and play with them at the playground. After that you contact a parent with a child and invite them. You might want to take then to the playground alone a about five times before inviting a friend.You should also let your therapist in on every activity.The therapist could kick in and come to the playground too. This is optional although it is a good thing to do.
