In this episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast, I interview Greg Santucci a pediatric OT and founding Director of Power Play Pediatric Therapy. We discuss what the sensory processing system is and how to decode behaviour through cultivating a “sensory lens”.

This conversation was recorded in my membership, where community members were able to ask Greg their questions.

We talk about:

6:00 The “hidden” senses
9:00 What sensory processing is
12:23 Why sensory seeking behaviour happens
13:50 What “regulation” is
21:28 How parents can start looking at behaviour through a sensory lens
24:00 Trying to figure out the root cause of behaviour
27:00 Toddlers repeatedly dumping things

35:00 Accommodating sensory challenges/preferences at school
40:47 Potty training challenges in a daycare setting
