Being a parent or caregiver can sometimes feel like a sensory nightmare. Especially in the early years, it can be messy, smelly, unforgiving, and exhausting!

If you have neurodivergent children, you may often find yourself in unfamiliar territory. When our children experience differences in sensory processing, it can lead to unexpected challenges with eating, sleeping, toileting, and personal care. Everyday demands can feel like insurmountable tasks.

How can we co-regulate with our children when they are one of the main sources of our stress? How am I supposed to help them stay calm when I feel like screaming and running away? I'm trying to follow the "normal" routines, but instead of regulating my child, they seem to escalate!

Your child's behavior is a form of communication, often linked to their sensory, emotional, or developmental needs. Addressing these needs requires specific tools to help regulate their nervous system. Knowing which tools to use is where I can offer guidance and practical strategies.

As your Emotional Regulation Coach, I am right there with you—in the trenches—helping you identify not only your triggers but also your child’s. Together, we will develop effective strategies to help you stay regulated while giving your child the support they need to do the same.
