Going through a rough patch

Sensory W.I.S.E. Solutions Podcast for Parents
Going through a rough patch
The truth is, I’m an expert in sensory and child development. I do all the things. I practice gentle parenting when I can.
Even with all that I give and all that I know, I still struggle very much with raising my anxious and sensory sensitive daughter. Right now she’s going through a rough patch, which means we all are going through a rough patch in our house.
This episode is completely unscripted but was so therapeutic for me to just talk and vent it all out. I’ll talk about why it’s so hard to keep up with her regulation, what’s going on with her at school, and even touch on our tough decision of not having any more children.
This isn’t your typical educational insights episode, but still valuable if you want to feel less alone.
