Ep 30 // If You’re Handing Over Screens to Survive the Day… This Episode Is For You and Your Neurodivergent Little One
Screen Time Without Meltdowns: How to Create Calm, Smooth Transitions for Neurodivergent Kids
If screen time feels like a double-edged sword — lifesaving for your sanity but meltdown-inducing when it’s time to turn it off — you’re not alone.
In today’s episode of Sensory Savvy Mama, we’re talking about screens, sensory needs, and how to use technology intentionally without guilt, shame, or chaos.
This is not an anti-screen episode.
This is a compassion-first, nervous-system-first approach to using screens as a tool — especially for neurodivergent kids who feel safe, regulated, and predictable when they’re watching or playing.
