Flowers
Looking at flowers is usually a gentle break, yet a strong scent or heavy pollen can tip the moment quickly. The visual support below shows how to look, sniff and touch in measured steps.

About this visual support
A simple bunch of flowers looks harmless, but it carries a lot of input at once: flickering colors, a sweet or sharp scent and petals that crumble between small fingers. For a child who is easily overloaded, a strong lily or a noseful of pollen can collapse what was meant to be a quiet moment.
A visual schedule makes the small steps visible: look first, step closer, sniff briefly, touch a leaf gently. With the order shown in pictures, the child can stay in the low-key part of the activity and skip the parts that are too much – like pushing the nose straight into a heavy-scented bloom.
One concrete tip: always keep a low-scent flower nearby, such as a tulip or ranunculus, alongside the perfumed ones. That gives a soft retreat when the smell becomes too strong. In the Routined app the cards can be paired with a gentle timer for how long you linger at each flower.
