In this episode, Erin and Lisa sit down with OT Erica Haarmann to explore the concept of the social battery—what it is, how it impacts both kids and adults, and why recognizing social burnout matters. We discuss signs that a child’s social battery is running low, how overstimulation and masking can contribute to burnout, and practical ways families can support regulation and recovery. Plus, we reflect on our own social batteries as parents and professionals, and the importance of knowing when our own “cups” need refilling.
