Sensory Needs in Kids: What is it with my kid and his quirks? w/Alisha

"It’s so frustrating that your child always tantrums, seems edgy, or doesn’t listen. Or, maybe they have some weird quirks and habits that you don’t get? But, you can’t shake the feeling that something deeper is going on. It could be related to their sensory processing!" -Your Kids Table

One day I was chatting to my girls on IG about how frustrating it is that my son is always running into things and seems so "wild." Not "so" wild that he can't focus or complete tasks but just enough that I am like "WTF DUDE." Well thanks to the amazing community, several of them being Occupational Therapists - I learned about Sensory Needs in kids and since then our lives have been so much easier. We now GET IT, we get why our son is the way he is and we KNOW how to help him.

We all have different sensory needs, EVERY SINGLE CHILD has different preferences. This episode is SO important to me. I want every parent to listen and I promise you, you will take away SO much and it will help you understand your child SO much better.

Our very amazing guest Alisha empowers women by equipping them with the knowledge and strategies to help their child with eating and/or sensory challenges thrive.  She has been a licensed occupational therapist for 17 years, and has been featured in Parenting Magazine, and the Huff Post. Alisha is the creator of the popular blog Your Kid's Table that reaches millions of parents and professionals every year. She's also a mom to three boys of her own.
