					<description><![CDATA[Children with sensory integration difficulties will benefit from a predictable schedule. Try to spend a few minutes in the morning discussing the plans for the day.

Children with difficulties can easily become overwhelmed by too much visual and auditory input. By controlling the environment you can help the child to stay within his ‘just right’ level, enabling him to be more organized and focused. For example, limit the amount of unnecessary visual material you have hanging on the walls and ceiling, keep the light on when watching television, use only one electrical appliance at a time and play calming music such as Mozart during quiet time.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Parental support is essential for developing communication and also in discerning and articulating emotional states and needs. Regulating one&#8217;s own emotions is a lifelong process, which involves self-regulation and the development of an increasing capacity to tolerate emotions. In order to facilitate this development, parents allow their infants to experience emotions but intervene to protect [&#8230;]]]></description>
