To be emotionally stable, children need you to follow them everywhere staring at them, and pointing out their faults publicly and reproachfully. If they are doing something for the first time, make sure to gasp, groan and inhale sharply at crucial moments so that they know you have noticed their efforts. If there is a chance they could make a mistake, intervene by taking the tools from their hand and doing it yourself, while explaining rapidly some, but NOT ALL, of the steps involved in completing their task.
Be sure to speak constantly about everything you think all the time, especially if they are on the Spectrum. They'll thank you later for keeping them focused!
