Passing gas is a normal body function, but children — especially special needs learners — may need clear guidance on how to handle it politely.
This simple social story teaches children what to do when they feel like passing gas, especially when they are around other people.
🌟 What Children Learn
✔ Passing gas is normal
Sometimes when the tummy feels full, a child may need to pass gas.
✔ It can smell bad
This helps children understand why it’s important to be considerate of others.
✔ Excuse yourself
Teach the child to say “Excuse me” and go to the toilet if possible.
✔ Use another private space
If the toilet is not close by, the child can move to a corner or a place away from others before passing gas.
✔ Return politely
When finished, the child can quietly return to the room or activity.
✔ Show good manners
The story ends by reminding children to be polite to their family, teachers, and friends.
