   The café chairs may be quite    low
   so I cannot see very well
                                          I will feel left out and feel as                   Take my favourite
                                          if I do not count as much as                       cushion to sit on.
                                          everyone else.





    We may have to wait a long time       I may get bored and

                                          get fidgety.
                                          My body may feel                                   Take some pens
                                          uncomfortable                                      and my new
                                                                                             colouring book
                                          and I may feel a lack
                                          of control over this.

    There may not be
    my favourite food
                                          I may get upset that                               Check on the menu
                                          there is nothing I                                 first to check there is
                                          like. I may feel I have got no                     something I would like

                                          control over the situation.                        to eat.


    It may take a long time to bring
    the food


                                          I might get hungry and                             Take a small snack,
                                          get a bit prickly.                                 just in case.
