Daphne and Velma don their sensory lenses again to examine how to identify what is causing overstimulation on a sense by sense basis. 

They tackle hair cuts, shopping carts, and Pirates of the Caribbean--slaying those sensory symptoms faster than Jack Sparrow downs a bottle.

Daphne and Velma Discuss Motor Plannnig in children with developmental delays, autism and sensory challenges 

Ronna and Sonja discussed motor planning, defining it as the ideation and execution of motor acts, and highlighted its challenges in distinguishing it from behavioral issues. Daphne shares a personal story about her child's difficulty with quick motor planning during a song game at summer camp, which led to a behavioral outburst. They emphasize the importance of understanding motor planning to avoid mislabeling it as behavioral problems and how to look at it from difference perspectives (parents and other therapies)

 Have a child that crashes? That won't sleep--Let's talk!

Daphne and Velma discuss proprioception and sleep-related themes, including strategies for managing children's behavior and sensory needs. They explore various activities and tools to help children develop body awareness and improve sleep quality, while also sharing personal experiences and plans.

In this episode, we address proprioception and sleep-related themes, including strategies for managing children's behavior and sensory needs.

Proprioception Signs in Children
The girls discuss proprioception, focusing on common signs and activities observed in children. We highlight examples such as children appearing clumsy, perimeter walking, and engaging in activities like dragging heavy objects or playing with large toys. Daphne emphasized the importance of quantifying and communicating specific behaviors to doctors for better understanding and intervention, and for parent empowerment for assistance.

Child Behavior Management Strategies
We discuss strategies for managing children's behavior and incorporating them into daily routines. Velma shares an example of a young boy who was given his own cupboard and grocery bags to help him feel independent and occupied, while meeting his need for baby weight lifting (lol). Daphne suggested using a child-sized shopping cart to allow children to participate in shopping while staying out of the way. They also discussed ways to channel children's energy, such as using a sponge for cleaning tasks, with a water bottle squirter-- which can provide physical activity and a sense of accomplishment. (and many more)

Sensory Development in Children Discussion
Daphne and Velma discussed the importance of sensory development in children, particularly in relation to vestibular (balance) and proprioceptive (body awareness) skills. They shared experiences of teaching children to perform somersaults and the benefits of using tools like wobble discs to enhance these skills. They also emphasized the value of play-based learning and the impact of sensory issues on a child's ability to sit, listen, and learn. They suggested exploring affordable options like yard sales and Facebook marketplace for sensory toys and encouraged parents to engage their children in activities like swinging at the park to promote overall development.
