Let’s explore the sensory needs of our children and possible strategies that can help with sensory regulation
Children with sensory sensitivities may have their behaviour, social interactions, and development significantly influenced by their surroundings, whether at home, school or in the community. For example, a child who is undersensitive might actively seek out constant movement and enjoy physical contact, such as hugging. As a result, sitting still and focusing could be challenging for them. Conversely, a child who is oversensitive may find busy, brightly lit environments overwhelming and may prefer to avoid loud noises or crowded places. This workshop will help you gain insights into your child’s unique sensory needs and provide practical strategies for sensory regulation, empowering you to support their well-being more effectively.
Join us to explore:
- The differences between sensory seekers and avoiders
- How to identify challenging behaviours caused by unmet sensory needs
- Practical tips for creating a sensory-friendly environment
- Effective strategies for managing transitions and helping your child regulate their emotions
