My Ideas Matter: Waiting My Turn Social Story & Visual Support

Does your child find it hard to wait before sharing their brilliant ideas? This gentle, neuro-affirming social story helps children learn a simple strategy for participating in class while building confidence and self-regulation.

Follow along as a child practices stopping, thinking, "Is it my turn?", putting their hand up, and waiting patiently. They learn that even though waiting can feel really hard, their ideas are important, and they will still get the chance to share them.

This resource focuses on encouragement rather than perfection, helping children understand that waiting is a skill they can learn with practice.

This resource includes:

• A beautifully illustrated social story (in easy to print PDF format)
• A matching visual reminder featuring the three simple steps: Stop and think: Is it my turn?; Put my hand up; Wait until I'm called on.
• Print-ready pages for use at school, at home, or during therapy sessions.

Perfect for teachers, parents, speech pathologists, psychologists, occupational therapists, and anyone supporting children in developing classroom participation and turn-taking skills.
