• Stemming from information gained from the course how can I teach my child about his nervous system to help him/her  learn that strong emotions are a sign of his/ her  pain and are something we can learn to manage together.

Part 3: Remember

               A –!  A child’s with sensory sensitivity  may be unconsciously  responding to a trigger which reminds them of their past trauma ! We need to  keep lens focused on inner world of child and  study  their nervous system.

                B – My child’s nervous system has been shaped by her or his early trauma particularly 0-5. We will be making new pathways in her/his brain in our therapeutic re- parenting. This is hard and takes time!!!!

               C- A child with sensory sensitivity /reactivity may take longer to feel true ‘felt safety’ in placement with you, as his/her nervous system will be responding to triggers to maintain hyperarousal

               D – Proprioception (heavy muscle work) and brain stem calmers can be really helpful for my child sensory system. This makes him/ her feel better.  Doing these with my child will enhance their regulatory impact, it may take time to find the right activity!

Part 5: Reflect

Take at least one element from the training to think more about, to try and apply in practice, to wrestle with, to discuss with others – topics could include:

– What will I do differently in my parenting for my child with further information gathered on the course today?

-Are there any downregulating sensory strategies/ activities I want to incorporate for myself  into my day to keep myself more regulated in the face of my own  pressure and stress. What resources do I need for this?

-What ways can I help the team around my child keep considering  sensory in our reasoning behind my child’s behaviour.

– I have learnt that anxiety increases sensory sensitivity. What situations cause my child to feel anxious? How can I use sensory soothing strategies to help or change the activity to make it less anxiety provoking or over whelming from a sensory perspective?
