Socially Successful Thanksgiving

Socially Successful Thanksgiving

It’s TURKEY TIME!  Thanksgiving is filled with family, friends, food and traditions.  What do all these things have in common?  Socialization!  Thanksgiving Day and the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving provide us with wonderful natural language and social learning opportunities.  We want to start helping you prepare your child for Thanksgiving now.  The more familiar they are with Thanksgiving and the people that they will see, the more likely they will want to participate and interact with others on the actual day.  The more they participate and interact with others on the actual day, the more they will create positive memories and associations with Thanksgiving, which will help them be excited and prepared for next year and also for other special events.  This will lead to more friendships, meaningful relationships, a sense of belonging and prideful traditions.  Today we want to focus on 3 simple things you can start doing now to help your child on the Day of Thanksgiving with all of these skills: Books, Thanksgiving Themed Activities and Family Themed Activities.
