Insecurity is a common feature of children with autism. For autistic children, the sense of security can be divided into two levels: one is stability, including stable caregivers, stable growth environment, etc.; The second is controllable, and the child has a certain ability to control the external crisis.
Gaining a sense of security at an early age can have a significant impact on the mental health of children with autism. Autistic children need to be surrounded by a sense of security more than ordinary children. So, how can you help children with autism build a sense of security?
Step 1: Start with a good interaction between parents and children. We should put the parent-child relationship in the first place and strive to let the child have a relaxed state of life. In addition, we should also try our best to maintain a calm heart and avoid impatience.
Step 2: Provide a safe and comfortable environment. This environment is not only a familiar living environment for children, but also an environment that satisfies children's psychological safety.
Step 3: Encourage in time. Children with autism need to spend a lot of time learning life skills and social skills when they are growing up, and we need to have enough patience and professionalism to help children acquire these essential skills. When a child's ability improves, it is necessary to give timely encouragement or rewards to strengthen the child's acquired skills.
