Do you love going to the movies, but a member of your family does not? Maybe they have trouble sitting still for what can seem like sooo long or maybe it's just too loud and they are sensitive to noise? Well I have a solution for you. Did you know that some movies theaters offer sensory friendly movies showings? These can be a lifesaver for a family member who has autism or other special needs.
Parenting is not always easy and we need to take advantage of all the tools available to us. When my boys were younger they were super sensitive to loud noises and had to wear special earmuffs to see a show. I also had one of those kids that was super wiggly and chatty when he was little making going to the movies extra challenging.
Take advantage of these options for sensory friendly movie showings when you can so you can Find Your Family Fun at the Movies!
