A funny thing happened when I sat down with Elen Nathan from the Playful Place for our first chat on the sensory systems. We just clicked and geeked out about the sensory systems and our neatly planned agenda for the episode went out of the window.
After recording part one we immediately knew that we should do a follow-up. So Elen came back on a Sunday to record this episode with me and it is a real gem.
In this episode:
- Elen unpacks the 8 sensory systems and the hyper (extremely sensitive ) and hypo (low sensitivity) of these.
- We also chat about rethinking children’s so-called ‘behaviour’ from a sensory perspective and how we can use this lens to be more supportive parents.
- This is essential listening for all parents and educators.
