I would like to hear how other families are approaching this challenge. My daughter is really good at understanding when we say to be quiet for safety reasons (e.g. In the car) but struggles a bit for social reasons (e.g. Baby brother is sleeping, Daddy needs to concentrate).

I wonder if there is a better way to communicate it. We always give her the option of her room as a safe place to express herself if she wants to be noisy when we need quiet but it feels a bit borderline as far as feeling like a punishment perhaps from her perspective sometimes. Both my partner and I have sensory issues with loud or repetitive noises and everyone would be much happier if we could get on top of this issue together.

I have tried problem solving with her but she's a bit young and finds the responsibility of working on a solution with us overwhelming. If you have any suggestions for this age group I'd be very interested.
