Course overview
Lesson Overview

11.55 – Encouraging Rest Without Guilt or Shame: Many autistic children feel guilty for needing extra rest due to societal pressure for constant productivity. Parents can change this narrative by modeling rest as essential self-care. Allowing downtime after school or therapy validates the body’s limits. Gentle reassurance that rest is not laziness fosters comfort and pride. Families can schedule quiet hours for everyone to normalize balance. Consistent sleep and rest patterns also improve learning and regulation. Encouraging rest teaches lifelong health awareness. Over time, children learn to honor their needs without apology, building respect for physical and emotional wellness as intertwined strengths.
