You know when something just feels off, but you can’t quite explain it? Like your child leans on you all the time, gets overwhelmed in gymnastics, or gags when a food feels “weird” in their mouth? These things might not seem like a big deal on their own — but they can actually be subtle signs of sensory challenges. In this episode, we’re talking about the sensory red flags most parents miss — the small, everyday things that are easy to overlook, but might be your child’s way of saying, “This is hard for me.”

About the Host:
Being a parent of a child with sensory challenges isn’t easy. Some days, it feels like you’re walking on eggshells, unsure of what will set off the next meltdown. You’re doing everything you can, but you can’t help wondering if there’s more you could do—or if you’re missing something important.

I’ve spent over a decade helping parents like you understand their child’s sensory needs and find real-life strategies that actually work. My goal? To help you feel less overwhelmed, more confident, and ready to support your child in a way that feels manageable for your family.
You’re already an amazing parent, and you know your child better than anyone. This podcast is here to give you the tools to make life just a little easier—for both of you.
