Parenting Solutions: Color Therapy


The colors we are surrounded by impact us psychologically and should be taken into consideration when we're decorating our kids rooms, dressing them and even ourselves. Kids with attachment disorders or who have been drug exposed usually have sensory issues and can be more impacted by their environment than their peers.
Here are some things to consider when you're thinking about colors. 
red and orange: very stimulating, increase impulsive behavior and encourages you to eat more 
yellow: in small amounts can be comforting but causes anxiety in large amounts
light pink: soothing and nurturing 
light blue: relaxing, calming
green: soothing, rejuvenating
violet: calming, suppresses appetite 
light gray: soothing
