Getting a Haircut Social Narrative for Kids | 29-Page Printable Big Moment Story Ages 4–8 | Calm Coping Sensory Tips Activities

Ten calm haircut steps in ten gentle stories - the cape, the spray, the snip, the buzz, hair on the floor, a favorite toy, slow breathing and a proud new look.

Nora and Eli get ready for a haircut, one calm step at a time. Over 29 pages, Eli learns what happens first, brings a comfort toy, feels the cape and the cool spray, hears scissors and clippers, watches hair fall and grow back, breathes slowly with Nora, and looks proudly in the mirror. Every step comes from a named source.
