Halloween is a magical time for many children. It's the one night where they have an opportunity to pretend to be anyone (or anything) they want to be! However, for young children, or children with social, behavioral, or communication challenges, Halloween can also be a stressful night.

Being a parent is hard work! YOU are responsible for keeping your little humans alive, in addition to continually trying to figure out what is BEST for your child. Do you breastfeed or formula feed?

I have found that the hardest part about training people to use behavioral momentum is teaching them how to come up with a series of easy (high-probability) requests on the spot. It doesn’t always come naturally to people, so I had an idea. I took 9 basic skill topics and turned them into a set of cue cards for parents, therapists and other professionals. Behavioral Momentum Cue Cards are sized to fit on a lanyard or keychain, and pair nicely with my Visual Rule Cue Cards.

A few minutes ago, I received an email from my mom entitled "Interesting Factoid." You may not know this about me, but my family (cousins, aunts, and uncles included) love learning new trivia facts. So naturally, I was intrigued by this email, and it didn't disappoint.
The email went on to explain a fun fact about today, which is recognized as National Play-Doh Day. Immediately I wondered how I missed this and was thankful that my mom decided to share her "Interesting Factoid" when she did.
