Grandchild

I am the grandmother of a 3.5 year old granddaughter who has just been diagnosed with autism.  I look after her and her one year old sister once a week but am struggling, particularly during school holidays.  Any advice on how to keep her amused would be very welcome.

  • Thanks for your prompt reply.  You went into my spam I’m afraid so only just seen this.  She has a few words, but it’s quite limited.  She likes being outside, enjoys soft play.  I find it difficult when we’re indoors, if the weather’s bad. She won’t settle to anything.  She likes stickers, peeling the backs off them mostly.  Loves stripping onions of their skins!

    Any suggestions gratefully received!
