Following the leader games
Straws (blowing bubbles)
Deep breaths
Obstacle courses
Child is the teacher (ex. show the rest of the family how to draw a cat)
Sensory stimulation (rocking, deep pressure, back patting, running, jumping, etc.) using the isopriciple of meeting the child where they are and slowing changing tempo/speed to a more regulated state. Use language like “I see your body looks like ……….”
