Featuring Natalie Goldstein of Rise Child Development, in this episode we talk about the importance of understanding just how much our sensory systems, and the way they dictate our bodies and brains, really matters. Sensory processing matters in the way make sense of children’s behaviors. It also matters in the way we can help our children regulate (or even dysregulate).

It’s been a minute!I love the podcast. And every time I tried to come back to this space, something big got in the way (like having a baby)…and with the most recent event being, the October 7th massacre and violence vs. civilians in Israel. Then the growing wave of antisemitism, and the climate of violence and intolerance in general. It’s definitely been a lot to navigate emotionally, especially as a Jewish mother. Here’s to hoping the new year brings more light and kindness. Let’s dive in.

Sometimes what we don’t say with our words, but with our bodies is just as, or even more, important. We are constantly communicating with our bodies through facial expressions, tone of voice, gestures, posture, and so on. Our nonverbal communication is really significant in how we relate and interact with others, especially our kids! Kids are wired to pick up on nonverbal cues before the verbal so it is not only important for us to understand their cues, but to be mindful of ours. In this episode,

Putting a positive spin on things, finding the bright side, and asking people to seek gratitude comes natural to a lot of us parents.
