Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 076: Carol Kranowitz Talks About Sensory Processing Differences and the Out-of-Sync Child · 26 Sep 2017 podcast

That's a really great question.

I think the biggies are the child's unusual responses to touching things and being touched and to moving his own little body and to being moved

when he's not expecting it.

So touch and movement are so critical to our humanness.

We have to touch.

We have to move.

We must.

We're born to touch and move.

That's how we exist, you know?

So when these things are causing children to have unusual responses, let's put on sensory goggles and look at kids through these sensory lenses and ask ourselves,

Is this child trying to defend himself and protect himself?

We have to remember the sense's first job is to keep us alive.

So when a child jumps back from grandma's open arms, the way you and I might jump back from a burning tree that lands at our feet,

That alarm, that self-protection of the child is his way of saying, I don't get it.

I don't get what this potential hug and kiss are going to do to me.

So let's think.

The senses are helping us survive.

When we feel safe, then we can use our senses to learn.

So there's a defensive mode there.

that we all have, and then we put down our defenses.
