Everyday Picture Stories for Kids, 10 Printable Social Narratives, Dentist, Haircut, Doctor, Waiting, Bedtime

10 printable picture stories that help children know what will happen before a new or tricky moment: the dentist, a haircut, the doctor, waiting, a change of plans, cutting nails, a birthday party, the beach, going to sleep and going to the store.

Each story has six short parts with one picture each, written in simple first-person sentences. Many stories give a calm idea to try, and every story ends on a positive note. Many parents, teachers and therapists use picture stories like these with toddlers, preschoolers, school-age kids and children with autism or ADHD.
