THE SENSORY MADE SIMPLE PODCAST

Ep. 84. Sensory Red Flags Most Parents Miss

The Sensory Made Simple Podcast

with Dr. Samantha Goldman

Why does your child behave perfectly at school — but fall apart the moment they get home? Or maybe it’s the opposite: they’re totally fine with you, but struggling every day at school. In this episode, we’re breaking down why your child’s sensory needs can look completely different depending on where they are — and what that really says about their nervous system.

Highlights from this episode:
 

🎙️ Why “good” behavior at school might be a sign they’re holding it in

🎙️ What makes home the place where kids often release sensory overload

🎙️ How school demands, structure, and expectations affect regulation

🎙️ What you can do to support your child across both environments

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’m Sam Goldman, a pediatric occupational therapist and your guide in this sensory journey. 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.
