Has anyone got any tips to encourage a child to use a 'safe space' when they are overwhelmed.
Currently my child runs and hides and his school are really struggling with this. They have made it very clear I have to get him using a safe space.
I have made a nice box of things up for him but he doesn't like the idea at all, so we are starting with a very negative stance.
Did your child choose the safe space at school. Can you engineer somehow that he has an input about what and where it is. This is what I am trying with my 10 year old. He wants somewhere private, not in the classroom. The sensory room is being used for something else!
