Have a child that crashes? That won't sleep--Let's talk!
Daphne and Velma discuss proprioception and sleep-related themes, including strategies for managing children's behavior and sensory needs. They explore various activities and tools to help children develop body awareness and improve sleep quality, while also sharing personal experiences and plans.
In this episode, we address proprioception and sleep-related themes, including strategies for managing children's behavior and sensory needs.
Proprioception Signs in Children
The girls discuss proprioception, focusing on common signs and activities observed in children. We highlight examples such as children appearing clumsy, perimeter walking, and engaging in activities like dragging heavy objects or playing with large toys. Daphne emphasized the importance of quantifying and communicating specific behaviors to doctors for better understanding and intervention, and for parent empowerment for assistance.
Child Behavior Management Strategies
We discuss strategies for managing children's behavior and incorporating them into daily routines. Velma shares an example of a young boy who was given his own cupboard and grocery bags to help him feel independent and occupied, while meeting his need for baby weight lifting (lol). Daphne suggested using a child-sized shopping cart to allow children to participate in shopping while staying out of the way. They also discussed ways to channel children's energy, such as using a sponge for cleaning tasks, with a water bottle squirter-- which can provide physical activity and a sense of accomplishment.
