I also have 3 adult kids with autism they are over weight my middle daughter is a compulsive eater it's hard to find resources for my daughter. I did get good information from your video.

Thank you for your support, glad you got some good information from this video. If you wish to change your daughter's eating habits then the whole household must change as well. I suggest to do it in baby steps so they can get used to it overtime. Research healthier ways to make their favorite foods and offer a salad with every meal, even if they eat a bit only to start. Stick to it and they will come along!

Great video. How do we incorporate physical activity during quarantine? During the summer we are able to do walks, swimming, etc. However, now it is hard to fill a day with physical activity because there is a limited amount of things for us to do. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Hi Tanisha! Do you have any equipment at home? We have an exercise bike and a huge exercise ball. They are quite fun for kids because they feel they are playing while exercising at the same time. Grab jars are also a great idea, you just write down different physical activities, put the papers inside the jar and then have your son/daughter grab a piece of paper and do the activity. It is very entertaining when you do it with your entire family or a group of friends. Scavenger hunts are also a great way to get kids moving! Hope it helps. :)

@@MariaBorde I love the idea of the grab jars! I have two autistic sons (one nonverbal) and I believe both would enjoy this activity. Thank you.

What kind of physical activities does your son or daughter do on a regular basis and how do they enjoy it?

My son is now a days very obsessed with cake cutting activity and with the birthday song. Physically he is very much into jumping on the bed these days

@@nazishinam9050 Cake cutting is very satisfying for many people! Are you baking all the time?

[@nazishinam9050]
