article: If you belong to a particular religion, you may wish to keep your altar decorated with figurines and holy objects related to it. Some make altars dedicated with a particular purpose, such as healing or meditation, and decorate it with objects that represent those from many cultures. As a simple, nondenominational example, you could build an altar representing the four classical elements: fire, air, water, and earth. For other specific examples, see Make a Taoist Altar, Create a Simple Buddhist Shrine, or Set up a Wiccan Samhain Altar. Many altars begin with a cloth to keep the altar surface clean and communicate the intent of the altar. For example, a simple white cloth can help you stay focused and contemplative. A bright, decorated cloth can help raise your spirits, while an outdoor altar could have a cloth with muted autumn colors that don't distract from nature. To continue the example of an altar dedicated to the four classical elements, you could choose four small cloths and lay them next to each other: red (fire), white or light blue (air), dark blue (water), and brown (earth). If you belong to a religion with sacred texts, include a copy on the altar to read for inspiration. Otherwise, consider adding a different book, poem, or other text that is important to you, and will help you reach the mental, emotional, or spiritual state the altar is intended to provide. Orthodox shrines commonly have icons of the saints or other religious figures. Hindu shrines may include figurines of the gods that are being honored. Even if you're not religious, think of artwork you could include that is related to your altar's purpose. Continuing the example of an elemental altar, you could include a charcoal drawing of flames (fire), calligraphy drawn with a bird's quill (air), a watercolor painting of a seascape (water), and a clay statuette (earth). These vary widely depending on the spiritual tradition and personal preference of the altar's builder. You may have many herbs, crystals, and specialized containers if you conduct many rituals. On the other hand, it's completely acceptable to simply include a candle which you light before you pray, or a journal in which you write your thoughts. An elemental altar might include a candle (fire), a fan (air), a glass of water (water), and a handful of soil (earth). You can hold each of these items in turn as you contemplate the element and what it represents, or invent a more elaborate ritual. Add to your altar however you like. You may wish to add flowers, decorative figurines, or other decorations. You may decide to put photographs of happy memories around the altar. You may prefer to keep the altar relatively bare. It's all up to you. Other related objects that could go on your elemental altar include seashells, rocks, feathers, partially burned wood, or anything else you think represents or complements the elements.

Write an article based on this "Make a schedule. Go through the schedule with the child at the start of the day or series of events. Use the schedule throughout the day. Consider using a "first-then" schedule. Use motivators and rewards."
article:
Prepare the child for the day's activities at home or at school by writing out a schedule. You can either include the whole day's schedule, or you can focus on a few activities at a time and update the schedule as you go. If the child can read, use words on paper or a white board. If not, use photographs or pictures. If you want to use them multiple times, consider laminating them and adding Velcro to attach them to a numbered schedule strip. Experiment with different kinds of pictures and symbols to see what the child understands best. Try to use some pictures of the actual child doing the planned activities, if possible. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/8\/8a\/Visual-checklist-schedule.JPG\/460px-Visual-checklist-schedule.JPG","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/8\/8a\/Visual-checklist-schedule.JPG\/420px-Visual-checklist-schedule.JPG","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":612,"bigWidth":"421","bigHeight":"560","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

<\/p><\/div>"} Excitedly talk them through it. As much as possible, provide choices about the activities. If the child expresses dissatisfaction with any of the events, try to change the difficult parts, or if that isn't possible, explain why, using appropriate language. For those non-preferred activities, remind the child about the good parts (for example, the fun activity that comes afterwards, or the snack they can enjoy during it). Refer to it as you prepare for transitions. If it's a written schedule, have the child cross off the completed tasks. If you're using a reusable picture schedule, have the child remove the pictures corresponding to completed tasks. For children who might need more reminders about upcoming tasks during transitions, use a two-step schedule to supplement or replace the day's schedule. You can write this out on paper or use a laminated schedule card with Velcro-backed pictures. For example, it can read, "First: Work Time, Then: Free Time" with pictures that hold meaning for the child. Walk them through it verbally during transitions. If necessary, offer the child a reward for completing the transition (for example, a small treat, a few moments with a preferred toy, or tickles or hugs). If the child has lots of difficulty with transitions, consider implementing a token system whereby they can earn tokens or stickers for transitioning calmly to new activities. When they earn a certain number of tokens, provide a preferred reward or activity, like a sweet treat, a fun prize, or free time alone. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d2\/Basic-Rewards-Token-Chart.JPG\/460px-Basic-Rewards-Token-Chart.JPG","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d2\/Basic-Rewards-Token-Chart.JPG\/728px-Basic-Rewards-Token-Chart.JPG","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":353,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"559","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>
