Om ʼn konneksie te bou beteken nie ʼn ouer is toegeeflik nie, dit skep eerder ʼn grondslag vir effektiewe dissipline.

When sensory overload hits, eating can feel like a mountain too steep to climb. A child’s brain runs out of bandwidth for all the tastes, textures, and smells—so they insist on “safe” foods or push the plate away.

In our next UNDERSTANDING YOUR SENSORY SENSITIVE KIDDO workshop on 26 July, we’ll unpack these reactions and share practical ways to help your child feel safe—and even curious—around new foods.

What’s in your emergency sensory toolkit? 🤔👜

Many families find that just having noise-cancelling headphones in their child’s bag provides a sense of security—like a visible safety net in unpredictable environments. And when children do use them, research shows significant drops in stress and auditory sensitivity (Ikuta et al., 2016).

Build your own mini-kit with:
• Noise-Cancelling Headphones – Mute loud sounds before they become overwhelming
• Sunglasses – Soften harsh lighting indoors and out
• Chewy Snack/Necklace – Satisfy oral input needs on the go
• Crunchy Snack – Provide crisp bite feedback to calm a busy mouth
• Fidget Toy – Redirect restless hands into soothing movement
• Travel-Size Wet Wipes – Wipe away sticky textures or offer a gentle tactile break
• Water Bottle – A quick sip brings immediate calm and helps reset internal cues
• Weighted Scarf, Lap Pad or toy – Offer gentle, grounding pressure wherever you are

These items can transform a potential public meltdown into a manageable moment—headphones at the mall, a chewy snack in a long queue, or a fidget toy at the restaurant.

Interested in learning how to assemble and use your own sensory supports? Join us on 26 July for UNDERSTANDING YOUR SENSORY SENSITIVE KIDDO. You’ll walk away with a clear plan, hands-on demonstrations, and the confidence to support your child in any setting.

💻 Zoom only (R25 booking fee)

We’ll explore how to:
• Model generosity in everyday play
• Recognize when your child isn’t quite ready to share
