Let's normalize talking about our self-regulation & our senses! But it can feel awkward... so what better way than through a beautiful, engaging picture book?

Join Sarah and me, Whitney, as we discuss her new book A Chameleon Tale:

• how it came about
• how it's already impacting families
• sensory processing (especially vestibular and proprioceptive input!) Learn more here.
• self-regulation (learn more here)
• MOM's own sensory systems, too!

When you talk to your kid about sensory processing or self-regulation, do you feel like you're talking OVER them instead of having a conversation?

Or maybe you have a kiddo like mine who is not receptive to a lot of direct teaching about self-regulation.

Jackie Adrian, Sarah's friend and co-author of A Chameleon Tale, said "Where's the book for this?" ... and they couldn't find one! So in true OT fashion, she helped make it.

Find A Chameleon Tale (link) on Amazon or wherever books are sold.

What are reasonable expectations for kids' self-regulation? If you can figure this out, you'll save yourself so much frustration as a mom and teacher. By the end of our time together, you'll know:

• How to encourage your kids' development at each stage
• What is usual for different stages (of course variations will occur!)
• What is self-regulation anyway...

Do kids' outgrown co-regulation? Do babies self-regulate? What age range experiences the MOST gains in self-regulation? You might be surprised!

If you feel stuck in a cycle of frustration with yourself and your kids, coaching can help you move from information to application so that you can find peace in your home. Book your free consult here!

There's room for one more client in the Sensory Savvy Moms coaching program for this summer. Don't wait until the end of summer expecting things to get better. Small, practical steps can make a huge difference for the peace of your home this fall. www.calendly.com/sensationalmoms
