Try arming your child with a disposable camera or an inexpensive digital camera when you go out. Having ‘something to do’ can remove some of the anxiety of, for example, a trip out or a visit to relatives. Even if you think there are 24 pictures of light fittings, develop the pictures or look at them together on the computer. Looking at photos your child chooses to take can surprise you with an insight into what he is interested in capturing.

Your child can use the digital camera as a learning activity; ask him to take a picture of something beginning with ‘C’, etc., or ask him to take a picture of something green/blue/red…and report back. Your questions can be tailored to your child’s level of understanding, i.e. ‘anything found in the kitchen’ or ‘something to keep the milk cold’. You can then print these off and use them in a table-top activity of, for example, making a collage board of ‘kitchen equipment’ or ‘green items’.
