Description

Parents of children with autism know that control is an important aspect of their lives and can be difficult to manage. When something disrupts the plan, it can cause chaos and episodes. This can be especially challenging for teenagers as they are figuring out their emotions and hormones. To help them learn how to emotionally regulate, parents should provide a safe environment where they can practice controlling their reactions and understanding when they need to follow and when they need to lead. They should also be open about their own control issues in order to help their children understand.
