Understanding big emotions can be tough, but what if we made learning about
them a fun game?
One of our favourite ways at BBH to do this is with "Pretend
Play with Emotion Faces."
How to do it at home:
* Gather some paper, markers, and craft sticks.
* On the paper, draw a bunch of faces
showing emotions—happy, sad, angry, surprised, silly, scared, etc
* Cut them out and tape on a stick
* Time to play! Now, you can use these faces in a few ways. You can
take turns making the sound that goes with each emotion, or tell a short
story using a few of the faces. Another fun idea is to have your child
pick a face and tell you about a time they felt that way.
This simple activity helps children recognize and express their feelings
in a safe and playful way. It teaches them that all emotions are okay
and gives them the language to talk about how they feel.

Why Theory of Mind Matters in Autism
Theory of Mind (ToM) is the ability to understand that other people have
thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and intentions that may be different from
your own.
For many children on the autism spectrum, developing this skill doesn’t
come naturally — which can make social situations confusing,
overwhelming, or even frustrating.
🔹 Difficulty predicting others’ behavior
🔹 Trouble reading social cues
🔹 Challenges with empathy or flexible thinking
All of these can be linked to delayed or impaired Theory of Mind.
💡 The good news? Targeted, early interventions — including
play-based therapy, social stories, and structured peer interactions —
can strengthen these skills over time.
At Bounce Back Health, our therapists use evidence-based practice to
help autistic children:
✔️ Build perspective-taking
✔️ Navigate relationships
✔️ Communicate with more confidence
🌱 It’s not just therapy — it’s building the foundation for real,
meaningful connection.

🎈 At-Home Emotional Regulation Activity: Balloon Breathing
Also known as belly breathing, this simple yet powerful relaxation
technique helps calm the mind and body through deep, slow breaths. By
encouraging children to imagine their belly as a balloon — inflating as
they inhale and deflating as they exhale — this practice promotes
relaxation, reduces tension, and improves focus.
🧠 Why it works:
Balloon breathing supports emotional regulation by helping children
become more aware of their body and breath — a key part of calming down
when emotions run high.
💡 How to do it:
1. Find a comfortable position – Sit or lie down in a relaxed posture
2. Place your hands on your belly – Feel the rise and fall as you
breathe
3. Inhale deeply through your nose – Imagine your belly filling with air
like a balloon
4. Exhale slowly through your mouth – Visualize the balloon gently
deflating
5. Repeat for several minutes or until calm returns
This fun, visual strategy is especially helpful for children with
sensory sensitivities or challenges with emotional control.
