In episode nine of the series “Blue Color,” the character Hamza demonstrates progress by showing happiness while swimming, marking an important step in helping children with autism understand and express their emotions.
Children with autism often need guidance to identify and manage their emotions, as they may interpret negative feelings as anger or physical sensations like heat or shortness of breath, and may struggle to recognize excitement or joy.
Ways to help autistic children understand emotions:
-
Use daily activities and play to increase emotional awareness.
-
Point out the child’s and others’ emotions during reading or TV watching.
-
Teach the child to notice how feelings affect their body.
-
Utilize tools like emotion cards, social stories, and illustrated dialogues.
-
Encourage creative expression through drawing, music, or play.
-
Teach calming steps: notice the emotion, name it, pause, support, and resolve the trigger.
“Blue Color” airs on CBC at 11 PM and on Al Hayah at 12:15 AM, starring Jumana Murad, Ahmed Rizk, Naglaa Badr, and others, produced by Albatros, written by Mariam Naoum, and directed by Saad Hendawy.
