How to have the “sensory cup” talk

Sensory W.I.S.E. Solutions Podcast for Parents ·

2022/01/24

One thing I’m always preaching to my clients, my in person clients, my virtual parent coaching clients and the parents in the Sensory WISE Solutions program is that it’s important to have the “sensory cup” talk with your child. You know, as long as they have the language capabilities to understand. It’s important for your child to understand that their brain processes sensory input differently and it’s even more important for them to understand that there’s nothing wrong with that.

2022/01/17

All behavior is a form of communication, but sometimes it can be hard to decipher what our children are communicating. When kids hit, kick, spit, punch, throw or push, parents often ask me, “is this sensory or is it behavior?” I’m here to end that debate once and for all. Well, maybe not end it, but at least help you reframe it.Because what the real question should be is “What is it my child is trying to communicate with me right now?”Listen to this episode to hear more about the sensory and

So you have a sensory sensitive child who’s sensitive to seams of socks, mushy textured food, messy play, or toilets flushing. What should you do?
