Welcome to Part 2 of the Sensory Processing and Adoptive Parenting episode. In Part 1, Dr. Laura Anderson shares why your child's sensory needs are important and how to identify sensory processing issues. Part 2 focuses on a deeper dive of how to make this work for you on a daily basis.
Pause for a moment right now and consciously become aware of what you're seeing, hearing, touching, and tasting; what is in the background and how does it make you feel? For most, it is almost unconscious, but for children with unevenly developed sensory systems, they may be experiencing input from the world in ways that are different from your experience, and confusing for you and your children. This can have a major impact on child behavior. Sensory processing issues manifest in restlessness, defiance, eating rigidity, sleep problems, meltdowns, etc.
