Learning life skills at @GiantEagle
I've written about this before but I'm going to write about it again. I really feel strongly about trying to use everyday activities as a chance to teach my 3 boys with #autism important life skills. We have some wintery weather blowing in soon and I wanted to pick up a few items at the grocery store, in case we get snowed in. I grabbed Elliott and we headed off to our local Giant Eagle. I swear it's like we live at that store. Anyway, Elliott is 6 years old, has aspergers and loves learning new things. Whenever he comes with me to the store, I always make sure to let him practice things like making good food choices, working within a budget, ringing up the groceries in the self-checkout…
