Today I am joined by occupational therapist and sensory integration practitioner, Elen Nathan.
In this episode:
- Elen gives us an introduction to the nine sensory systems and why these are important for us as parents to be aware of.
- Elen and I chat about practical examples of what this could look like for our children, how we can be more aware of our child’s sensory world and how this can contribute to their sense of safety.
- We chat about the importance of tuning into and trusting our intuition as parents when it comes to knowing what is right for our children.
- We talk about how we can change our parenting approach and provide accommodations to meet our children where they are to better support them.
