A lot of you've reached out to me with questions around sensory issues, sensory integration, and how to support the development of the senses in our young children. For today's show, I invited a dear friend Lalla Carini who's been an extremely important teacher in my life for the past 14 years to share her wisdom and experience. She holds a tremendous amount of love and compassion around these topics and I'm so excited to share with you today. __ Thank you for taking the time to listen to this show.

How To Support Development of The Senses w/ Lalla Carini

If your child has some anxiety about separating, it can be super helpful for them to see you connecting with the teacher.  I would invite the parent to hold their child and sit down with me for tea. When the child witnesses the safety and trust that is present between parent and teacher, they can more easily trust themselves.  This can be more important than pressuring the child to open up to the teacher and accept them. Also, if you have rarely left your child, then some practice with family members or good friends is a good idea before school.  Practice your goodbye routine over and over at grandma’s house then when you do it on the first day, it will actually feel supportive.

Preparing For The First Day of School

Our children stand before us with endless “What” and “Why” questions, they push back on our requests, refuse our meals, and challenge us to go back inside and come up with something better than, “Because I said so!” But the truth is, during these formative years, our children take in very little of our verbal communication with them. So many parents worry about crafting the perfect answer, offering the right activity, disciplining the most effectively, etc, when what matters the most is our internal world. They mimic the way we care, our devotion, our sense of purpose, our problem-solving strategies, our rigidity, the way we love… __ ► DM me your questions on Instagram: https://www.instagram.comlittlesprigs/ ► Check out my Alexa skill!: http://littlesprigs.com/dailyparentingtips  __ Christina is Little Sprigs Founder and Parent Educator.
