Emotional regulation involves allowing emotions to be fully felt while sensory regulation helps bring the body back to balance, even when the emotion itself continues.
Children have unique sensory profiles that influence their reactions.
Understanding our children’s nervous system sensitivities (sensory-seeking, sensitive, or balanced) helps tailor support. For example, one child may calm through movement while another might need quiet or tactile comfort.
The importance of parents recognizing their own sensory sensitivities (e.g., sound, touch, or visual overload) and taking small, intentional breaks before reaching burnout.
Sensory mismatches between parents and children are common (e.g., a parent needing space while the child craves touch).
Proactive strategies such as small daily recharges, sensory-awareness reminders (alarms or sticky notes), and brief moments of self-care (even during bathroom breaks) are more sustainable than waiting until burnout.
The value of self-awareness for emotional intelligence. Small pauses throughout the day help parents regulate stress and model healthy coping for children.
