5 Ways People With Sensory Sensitivity Celebrate the Fourth of July
Here at The Mighty we were discussing how to help our readers with sensory sensitivities in celebrating the Fourth of July. We decided to put the question out to our lovely Facebook community, asking:
“For those who live with sensory overload, what are some ways you or your family celebrates the Fourth of July?”
From here, we compiled five tips from our Mighty readers into this video. Enjoy!
1. Get glow sticks and sparklers.
You can experience the bright colors of the Fourth of July in a controlled setting. Sparklers are fun to watch and glow sticks really light things up.
2. Use noise-reduction headphones or earplugs.
Many readers shared that their children were able to see the colorful fireworks without all the loud booms. (Colored earmuffs are an especially fun accessory!)...
