I am a wife, mum to two adult sons (the youngest of whom is autistic). Until recently, I have spent 24 years working in special needs education and currently work as a parent support volunteer for our local autism charity. During Covid I wrote a children’s book about a little gnome who struggled to talk about his emotions and this sparked the idea of using my skills to create a range of resources designed to support children’s social emotional development. These are currently being used by parents, schools and play therapists. In October 2022 I was lucky enough to win a small business award from Theo Paphitis (Dragon’s Den) and this year was a finalist in the Rising Star Category, winning a Highly Commended Award from We Are The City (women in business). Grounding Stones The 5,4,3,2,1 Grounding Technique is a quick way to calm and ease anxious moments. It works by heightening your senses to the environment around you and helps to re-focus from any negative/anxious thoughts and these stones act as a visual reminder. It can be very difficult for children to focus when they are receiving a lot of sensory input from what is around them. This technique may help with their attention and where to focus their energy. When children (or adults) are used to this technique, it can help alleviate any anxious moments and they begin to feel more in control (which can help as a confidence booster, especially when in other/new environments).
