Practicing Body Awareness Together

This 7-page companion activity guide gives families two short guided activities to do together to build the skill of noticing and naming body cues — before dysregulation happens. Includes a filled-in reference example and a blank printable worksheet for families to complete together in their child's own words.

What You'll Learn

• How to use a 10–30 second body signal activity to help children notice and name sensations in real time
• How to guide a short "Mapping the Ranges" conversation across three activation levels together
• Why practicing body awareness during calm moments — not during hard ones — builds long-term regulation skills
• How to personalize the ranges framework in your child's own words using the printable worksheet

Who Is This For

BCBAs and practitioners who provide parent consultation and want a structured, activity-based companion to the Understanding Body Signals and Regulation Supports handout.
