This training offers sensory ideas and tips to support regulation when your kids have “nothing to do.” While we all look forward to the downtime that summer brings, let’s face it — it is HARD to keep a smooth-running household when your children are bored or dysregulated! This webinar will give a brief overview of why childhood trauma is so intricately woven with sensory processing behaviors, give you some great ideas to put into your toolbox to help ease the dreaded summer doldrums, and hopefully give some tips to prevent them at all!
