What'd you think of the episode? Send me a note!

If you have a child who’s been sick recently, you’ve probably found yourself wondering “Why are they so moody?” “why do they seem more sensitive than before?” 


You’re not imagining it. The nervous system is in a state of stress when it’s fighting viruses, ailments and bugs. Sensory systems are more impacted and so is behavior. 


Listen to this episode to feel validated for an experience you might have had recently or a reminder for what to expect next time. Stay till the end to hear my practical tips that I think every neurodivergent parent needs to know when helping their child transition back to “normal life” after an illness. 


PS- If you’re listening to this episode before June 30th, there’s time to register for my FREE masterclass, “4 steps to less stressful daily routines with your sensory sensitive child (without using punishments or sticker charts)” Register at THEOTBUTTERFLY.COM/4Steps
