02. A Sensory Emotional Lens on the Holidays
The holidays are upon us, and as parents of children with differences in sensory motor processing, gathering with family and friends for seasonal festivities can be stressful. We often deal with “the looks” from others about our child’s “behavior,” and we are left to explain the reason why our child is hiding behind us in social situations, does not respond to social greetings, or needs more support than the other kids when playing with others. We are often pulled between what we want to do for ourselves and our family and what our children need from us at that moment.
We’ve been there - many of us are parents of sensational kids. Let’s talk about it! As parents and professionals, we’ll provide tips to help you navigate these tricky situations and share expert insights, heartwarming stories, and tips to support your family’s holiday journeys.
In this episode you’ll discover:
Free Download: My Child has SPD cards
Download the sheet, print, cut these cards apart, and hand them out as needed. They will become a new way for you to respond when you feel stuck about the best way to respond to others. They are a great way to prepare family before you see them if you have not seen them in a while or to communicate with fellow parents on the playground when you feel something needs to be said, but you are not sure what.
