Can’t get conversation from your child with Autism?

​

Julianna just started middle school and we have to get up an hour and a half earlier than we used to. So it’s been an adjustment.

​
​
​

This morning I was having a hard time waking her up. Instead of me dragging her out of the bed or yelling and screaming at her, I instantly remembered I have one tool in my tool belt that works every time and that’s TALKING ABOUT THE TEA.

​
​

​
​Talking about the TEA is bringing up a topic that is highly motivating for your child to engage in. It could be about their favorite TV Show, YouTube Influencer, or even talking about their favorite video games.

​
​
​

In Julianna’s case she loves hearing the gossip on Cody’s Competition Dance Team. As soon as I started talking about who got a solo and who didn’t get into the group number, or who was upset, she sprung up and got out of the bed chattering and asking questions.

​
​

Questions like….

​
​
​

What competitions is he doing?

​
​

​
How many people is he going to be up against?
​
​

​
How many numbers is he dancing in?

​
​

​
​What is KEY is providing her NEW information that she doesn’t know – just a sprinkle, that she gets so excited she wants to know all the details.

​
​
​

So if you have a child on the spectrum who’s struggling to communicate past wants and needs, this is just a hot tip for you to get talking about tea. Figure out what your child LOVES to talk about and they’ll be singing like canaries.
