This is something that parents may want to try: Transitions- What helps? Many of my clients(kids, teens and adults) with AD/HD, Asperger's Syndrome,and NLD have difficulty with transitions. One of the techniques that I find works best, is to do a 3 minute mindfulness exercise prior to our session. We sit on a mat, and while I read the steps in a soothing voice, the client focuses on their breathing. This simple activity appears to calm and prepare the client for settling down to work. And, it only takes 3 minutes! Good luck. Laurette Fine-Genest,RN Life Skills Coach 45 Elm St Newton, MA 02465 www.lifecoachfocus.com
