Hi Breeann. A great post, full of authenticity and optimism ❤️. My 22 year old daughter with complex needs and autism never liked the butterflies in our local Tropical World either. I do think the onslaught of humidity and heat triggered sensory overwhelm, even before she even spotted the flitting butterflies. Thanks for sharing this Chanel.
Aw, thank you so much, Helen! I love hearing about your own experience with your daughter being similar. It is a real sensory overload from the beginning! It’s a lot. Thanks for reading! 💜
Loved this!! My kids also loved everything but the butterflies the last time we went! A good reminder to let kids love what they love and join them in it.
Thanks for reading, Krista! Ah, that's awesome to know there's another kiddo out there loving the butterfly house the same way mine did :) That was my reminder for myself, too!
