Do you have a child who fights you when eating?

Have you noticed your child has some challenges with simple sensory moments throughout the day?

Do you feel like you have tried everything to get your child to eat, get dressed but nothing is working?

Dr Samantha Goldman is a pediatric occupational and feeding therapist whose on a mission to help parents finally understand sensory processing! Today we talk about what actually is sensory processing and did you know there are 8 senses?  I was shocked but when Samantha explained them, they made total sense (no pun intended)😜…well maybe a little.  I love how she teaches kids to use a thermometer as a gauge to how they are feeling and the SOS technique when helping kids build their food inventory.

Highlights on this episode:

*What is sensory processing?

*How can you recognize it?

*Learn the 3 other types of senses (yes there are 8)

*Learning to actually understand your child and their senses so you can support them

*Using a thermometer approach to have child advocate for themselves

*You are doing a good job

And so much more.

About Samantha Goldman:

Dr. Samantha Goldman is a pediatric occupational and feeding therapist who's mission is to help parents FINALLY understand sensory processing, how to support their child’s unique needs, and navigate those tough (but inevitable) moments with confidence. As a neurodiversity affirming OT, she believes that sensory challenges are not the fault of the child, or the parent, but rather a mismatch between the world and your child's personal sensory needs. And when you finally understand and learn what's going on in your child's unique body, that's where the magic happens, and life becomes less chaotic and a lot more fun!
