In this episode, we pull back the curtain on sensory processing and why it's the root system of your child’s development — not just another behavioral checklist. You’ll hear:

  • Why traditional strategies (like calm-down corners or fidgets) might not be working the way you hoped

  • How to identify the true sensory needs that fuel behavior, instead of just reacting to outbursts

  • A breakdown of the Pyramid of Learning, showing how sensory systems influence emotional regulation, attention, and learning

  • Practical tips to start your own Sensory Observation Journal to decode your child’s unique neuro signature

  • A gentle reminder: this isn’t about fixing your child — it’s about supporting their nervous system to feel safe, connected, and capable

    • If this episode sparked clarity or gave you a new lens on your child’s needs, we’d love to hear from you.
