Sneaky Wisdom Tips:
Tips to help you through the day!
Activities – Take a walk together in your local neighborhood or a local
park. A mall would be very distracting with too much noise or too many people.
Baths – If you have a difficult time getting them to bathe, consider
pairing it with going to their favorite place. Bath before church, or going out to eat.
Wandering (exits at your home) – Consider putting a lock on the door they cannot open.
Driving – Get a key made that will unlock the car door and will start the radio but will not start the car. Keep an extra set of keys so you don’t get locked out.
