Listen Later

Feeling overwhelmed by your child’s sensory needs? In Part 2 of our conversation, sensory integration expert Carol Kranowitz returns to share practical, joyful strategies to help your child feel more confident and connected. From Ziploc paint bags to backyard crash pads, this episode is filled with simple tools to bring calm, play, and purpose into your day. Missed Part 1? Be sure to go back and catch it first!

About the Guest:
Carol Stock Kranowitz, M.A., is a pioneer in sensory integration education and author of the bestselling The Out-of-Sync Child. Her newest book, Good Times with Out-of-Sync Grandkids (coming March 2025), continues her mission to help families make sense of sensory challenges through play.

3 Key Takeaways:
  • Behavior is communication — learn to spot what your child avoids, seeks, and finds calming.

  • “Just right” challenges build skills and self-esteem (think pushing a laundry basket, not scrolling a tablet).

  • Everyday items like rope, paint, and pebbles can become powerful sensory tools.
