Finally, a clear and compassionate way to understand why your child may have big feelings over things that seem small. For children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), their brain and nervous system can go into overdrive. Everyday experiences that don’t bother most people can feel overwhelming for them, a clothing tag that feels scratchy and unbearable, a birthday party that seems chaotic, or a constant need to crash, jump, and move.
SPD can make it challenging for kids to manage sights, sounds, textures, and even simple changes in routine. It is more common than many realize, about one in six children experience these struggles!
When their brain is not receiving and organizing messages clearly, it can look like:
• Big meltdowns or outbursts
• Trouble sitting still or staying focused
• Challenges with clothing, food textures, or sounds
• Difficulty calming themselves
• Poor sleep, balance, or coordination
If any of this sounds familiar, please know you are not alone, and there is hope. With understanding, support, and the right care, kids with SPD can thrive. Call/text us at 616-258-8480 or email us at rise@risewellnesschiro.com.
