Parent Solution: Flip Calendar Fidget Toy
I gave my daughter an old flip calendar. It has no pictures, but she loves the feeling of the pages. Keeps her hands away from flicking light switches and pick pocketing.
Fidgets helpful self-regulation tool!

Fidgets can be toys, games, or everyday things such as pens, jewelry, or pocket change. Moving, or manipulating these objects helps us manage stress from different situations because the movement helps regulate, or balance out, our sensory systems. While it might seem like fidgets are distracting, they actually take care of “antsy” behavior—making us more relaxed and evening out our energy levels. ~ Julie A.
