Excerpt: “In my experience, what I've found is more of a gentle parenting, respectful parenting approach seems to work best. And really helping them build that feeling vocabulary, and helping them manage their emotions through the use of strategies. So really ultimately what we want is these kiddos to be able to get to a place of internally managing their emotions like we do as adults, but of course, developmentally appropriate."(More below)

Overview: In this episode, I chat with mom and Speech Language Pathologist Kelsey Brown about the connection between highly sensitive children and sensory play.
Takeaway #1: The term “Highly Sensitive Person” is still relatively new and many people (including doctors and teachers) don’t know about it.
Takeaway #2: Sensitive kids benefit greatly from sensory play - both to self-regulate and to have the opportunity to talk about their feelings.
Takeaway #3: Sensory play isn’t just for babies and toddlers. Teenagers and adults love it too! It’s truly beneficial for everyone.
