Home
At home a child can breathe out: familiar sounds, their own spots and people who do not have to be deciphered. Yet home has its own frames, different from those of school or the shop. The pictures below make the expectations at home as clear as the safety.

About this visual support
For many children home is the one place where the body can fully relax. Outside there are demands to read faces, hold the right tone of voice and fit into rhythms set by others. Inside the door most of that falls away. But for that very reason home can also become the hardest place to know which rules actually apply, because they are rarely said out loud.
With visual support, the home's own frames can become as visible as its safety. One picture can show where the shoes belong, another that the screen rests at mealtimes. It is not about more rules, but about making the ones that already exist clear, so the child does not have to read the mood to understand them.
One concrete tip: put up a small row of pictures by the front door showing the first steps home, such as shoes off, hang up the coat, wash hands. It marks the move from out to in and helps the body truly land. To tie the home's different routines together in one place, you can gather them in the Routined app.
