Touch!

As I was researching children's ability or acquiring ability to regulate sensory input (touch, smell, sound, movement, space, etc.) I discovered this blog... I love it and recommend it for mothers and teachers. Children's sensory processing is fascinating! How can they handle all that new information coming in? How come we expect them to keep it together all the time! That's absolutely a rhetorical question. This blog offers some fun, great ways to channel some of children's tactile sensory seeking behaviors. We can learn to embrace children's weirdness by recognizing that they are in the process of coming into awareness of how much there is to know- to touch, to taste, to hear, to smell, how much space there is to move, how capable we are of moving, and how other people react to how we chose to handle that information.
