On this episode, Heather & Jon talk about the magical mix of dyspraxia and baseball.  As fringy parents, it's easy to underestimate what our differently wired kids are capable of.  Join Heather and Jon as they talk about giving our kids a chance to surprise us.  Also talked about - why differently wired kids might have trouble tolerating compliments, praise, and pleasant emotions, too.

In this episode of the Fringy Bit, Heather and Jon talk all things proprioceptive. Many of our fringy kids (gifted, asd, 2e, spd, adhd, and other differently wired kiddos) struggle to get the right amount of proprioceptive input, which can lead to aggression, clumsiness, meltdowns, and more.  Join Heather and Jon as they share info, stories, and possible helps!

Mentioned in this Episode:
     Gold's Gym Weighted Vest

And a correction - KBear was listening to the podcast as I was editing it and she wanted to be sure all you bits know she actually has 8 pounds of weight in her vest, not 5.  :)
