Making the Shift for Autistic Kids

Ep. 94 How to Help Autistic Children with their Emotions


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why some kids struggle to understand their own emotions?

The answer might be in their interoception—the body’s hidden sense that helps us recognize hunger, thirst, pain, and even emotions.

On this episode of Making the Shift, we’re diving into how interoception affects emotional awareness and expression.

Whether you’re a parent, therapist, or educator, this episode will help you learn how to help children connect their body signals to emotions for better self-regulation and self-advocacy.

On this episode, we're diving into:

✔️ What interoception is and why it matters

✔️ How it shapes emotional regulation

✔️ Why some neurodivergent kids struggle with recognizing their own body signals

✔️ Practical strategies to support interoceptive awareness

✔️ And more!
