All of us have had a sensory issue at one time or another. Maybe its your neighbors dog barking that bothers you or you cant stand the texture of cottage cheese. Does it make you crazy to have a hat on your head? Do you avoid the mall at peak shopping times so you dont have to be around crowds of people? These are common things that as adults we adapt to or avoid without giving them a second thought. What about your childrens sensory sensitivities? What if you could make parenting easier and more fun by taking your childs senses into consideration? Imagine the possibilities because you can! A childs sensory system affects their ability to learn, play, socialize and function. Maybe a child isnt able to sit still in class because his shirt tag is bothering him. Or a child isnt able to play with other children because his balance is off and other kids make him feel unstable and dizzy. Maybe your child isnt just a picky eater it could be that his sensory system needs some special guidance and adjusting. And with so much technology and choices of games out there, which ones are beneficial for your children to play?
