Girls, I love your channel! I’ve been watching you for about a year now. I have a SPD sensory seeking 7yo and a little 2 years old in my house and we LOVE your recommendations/ suggestions! Thank you for your work!❤️❤️❤️
Im a new subscriber and I already llove your videos. They’re super informative and detailed. I’m currently on your site because I need all the help I can get for not just my kiddo, but myself, too. ❤
My child is 18 months, is that too young to consider him a sensory seeker? Some of his behaviors seem like they are just typical toddler needs - but he fits a lot of this to a T and is a lot more intense than his peers in these ways.
Toddlers can definitely show signs of sensory seeking! Toddlers are made to move, but anyone can be a seeker! Check out our free infant and toddler webinar, it might be helpful! harkla.co/pages/infant-sensory-development-webinar-registration
I have Septo Optic Dysplasia, which caused me to be born totally blind and it causd me to be on the autism spectrum. I’m a sensory seeker. Mainly my sensory seeking includes my senses of hearing, touch, vestibular, proprioception, and I think the interoceptive system as well, but I’m not sure about that one. I’m always touching everything because of being blind and having autism. Blindness really plays a big roll in sensory. I think blindness and autism are equal for me when it comes to the sensory system.
My daughter is getting older and requiring more and more movement. I don’t have the energy to keep up anymore. Then I get sad because she is attached to my hip and I have a one year-old who wants my attention. But my oldest wants more and more and more. I involve tons of movement, but it’s never enough.
Definitely try some of these on a daily basis if possible! Allow her to choose which activities she wants to try. Maybe start practicing "quiet, alone time" for a few minutes each day. See if you can get some help from another adult (friend, family member) so you can have some alone time as well as plan a weekly outing with just your older daughter so you have that special 1-on-1 time!
I also feel this way at times but adding in a Swedish ladder, trampoline, or other things they can do independently helps a lot! Even just putting them in gymnastics, Soccer or other high energy activity! You are doing great and it's okay to tell your kiddo that you are tired and need a break. ❤

One thing about being real mother is her whole regulation is totally connected with kids regulations

How do I get a referral for OT for my 5 year old?
Talk to your pediatrician and tell them you're concerned about your child's development and want to get an OT evaluation!
