#autism #selfregulation #earlylearning
Sometimes it can be hard to stay quiet, especially when we feel like talking or making sounds. This social story helps children understand when it is time to be quiet and how to stay calm in a supportive way.

In this autism-friendly social story, children learn:
• When they need to be quiet (during lessons, listening time, or quiet time)
• What being quiet means
• That it is okay to feel like talking or making sounds
• How to stay calm using deep breathing
• What to do if their body needs to make sounds (vocal stimming)
• How to ask for a break or go to a quiet space or sensory room
• How to use tools like fidgets or quiet activities

This video supports children in building self-regulation, listening skills, and positive classroom behavior in a safe and respectful way.

Social stories are helpful for:
• Children with autism
• Early learning and elementary school children
• Special education classrooms
• Teachers and education assistants
• Parents supporting social-emotional learning

Watching social stories can help children feel more confident and supported when learning how to be quiet and manage their bodies.
