Description

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

I share insights from my upcoming book, The Sensory Code, and introduce the nervous system budget framework to help parents and educators understand and support children's sensory processing differences proactively.


 Key  Topics:

  • Nervous system budget framework
  • Proactive sensory support strategies
  • Sensory processing differences and behavior
  • Application of the spoon theory to sensory regulation
  • How to build a sensory-friendly daily schedule


 Takeaways

  • The nervous system has a limited 'budget' that gets spent on daily demands.
  • Sensory triggers can 'cost' more for sensitive children, depleting their nervous system budget.
  • Proactively reducing sensory 'costs' and adding 'deposits' can help prevent dysregulation.
  • Understanding the nervous system budget helps foster compassion and patience.
  • Sleep alone does not replenish the nervous system budget; ongoing support is needed.
