$2.99
Planning a visit to stay with friends or family in their house can be an exciting event, and a completely foreign one to young children! Sleeping in a different bed, eating different kinds of foods, playing with toys that aren't theirs, staying up later than usual, and more are covered in this social story to help prepare kids for a family visit to someone's home.
And if the family you will be visiting includes grandparents, this story has a bonus script for grandparents included, with tips such as:
Keep a little physical distance and let the grandchild be the one to approach you.
Model being affectionate with your adult child.
Talk to your grandchild. Ask questions about favorites - color, food, toys, etc.
Offer to show something special to your grandchild, with a parent accompanying them.
Offer to play a game with your grandchild or use a toy together.
Offer to take your grandchild on a tour of your home.
