How do I know if my child needs support? Sensory red flags can be a good place to start.

📌 Sensory Integration: Red Flags & When to Seek Help

Kids experience the world differently — and sometimes behaviors are a clue that they need extra support. Here are a just few things to keep an eye out for:

🔸 Over- or under-reacting to sounds, lights, textures, movement
🔸 Avoidance of messy play, refusing certain fabrics or foods
🔸 Constantly seeking intense sensory input (spinning, crashing)
🔸 Frequent trips, poor coordination, difficulty with fine motor tasks
🔸 Trouble transitioning, self-regulating, or calming down

If you see several of these signs, consider consulting a pediatric occupational therapist or developmental specialist. Early support can help your child thrive. 💡

👉 Feel free to share this — you never know which parent might need to see it today.

Raising children isn’t just about teaching them what to do —
it’s about showing them how to be.

Kids don’t learn communication, apology, or accountability
because we tell them to.
They learn it by watching us.
They study how we speak in hard moments,
how we respond when we’re triggered,
how we repair when we’ve caused hurt.

If we want them to grow into emotionally intelligent, responsible adults,
it starts with us modelling the very skills we hope they’ll carry.

When we communicate openly and calmly,
we teach them that their feelings matter
and so do other people’s.
When we apologise sincerely — even as parents —
we show them that mistakes are human,
but owning them is what builds trust.
And when we take accountability without excuses or blame,
we teach them that real strength comes from honesty,
not defensiveness.

Imagine raising a child who can say,
“I was wrong, and I’ll do better,”
without shame.
A child who can express themselves without tearing someone else down.
A child who understands that accountability isn’t about fault —
it’s about growth.

That doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens because they see us living those truths every day.

Parenting is a mirror.
If we want children who communicate, apologise, and take responsibility,
we have to be the adults who model it.

Not perfectly —
but consistently, courageously,
and committed to the work.

Because the most powerful lessons we teach,
are the ones we embody. ❤️

Christmas can be derailed before it even begins when adults carry fixed ideas about what Christmas food should look like.

For children and young people with ARFID, these expectations can turn a season meant for comfort and connection into one filled with pressure, fear, and shame.

This visual is written in the voice of the young person, to help adults understand what ARFID feels like at Christmas – and what actually helps.

Because festive food traditions should never matter more than a child feeling safe, accepted, and trusted.

Save this. Share it with family. Let it do some of the explaining for you.
