This is a re-air of episode 20.

All behavior is a form of communication, but sometimes it can be hard to decipher what our children are communicating. When kids hit, kick, spit, punch, throw or push, parents often ask me, “is this sensory or is it behavior?” 


I’m here to end that debate once and for all. Well, maybe not end it, but at least help you reframe it.


Because what the real question should be is “What is it my child is trying to communicate with me right now?”


Listen to this episode to hear more about the sensory and behavior link.
