Is it sensory or behaviour? Understanding the 'why' behind behaviour
In this episode of the Go Beyond Therapy Podcast, host Samantha Taylor dives into one of the most common questions asked by parents: Is this sensory or behavioural?
With warmth and clarity, Samantha helps unpack what’s happening beneath the surface when children have meltdowns, shutdowns, or explosive reactions—and why it’s rarely ever “just behaviour.”
You’ll hear how sensory processing, emotional regulation, unmet needs, and even transitions can all play a role in how children express themselves. This episode also explores the power of co-regulation, how to track patterns in your child’s behaviour, and why responding with curiosity (not frustration) makes all the difference.
If you've ever second-guessed your response or wondered how to explain your child's behaviour to teachers or family—this one is for you.
