💡 “My child isn’t saying they’re dysregulated… but their behavior might be.”
Children don’t always have the words to express what’s happening inside — but their actions speak volumes. ✨
Look out for signs like:
🔸 Hyperactivity
🔸 Trouble focusing
🔸 Emotional outbursts
🔸 Avoiding favorite activities
🔸 Nail-biting or chewing on things
🔸 Sleep difficulties
These can all be ways their nervous system is asking for help.
As occupational therapists, we help children and families understand these signals and find ways to support regulation through play, movement, and connection. 💛
📩 DM us if you’re noticing these signs in your child.
