Before we call a child “naughty,” “defiant,” or “attention-seeking,” it can help to pause and ask a different question:

“What might they be trying to tell us?”

A meltdown may be exhaustion. Refusal may be anxiety. Anger may be overwhelm. Withdrawal may be a child who doesn’t yet have the words for what hurts.

Children can struggle with hunger, tiredness, sensory overload, big feelings, changes at home or school, communication difficulties, loneliness, or unmet needs. Their behaviour is not always a choice to make life difficult — sometimes it is the only way they know how to say, “I need help.”

This doesn’t mean ignoring harmful behaviour or having no boundaries. It means responding with curiosity as well as consequences, connection as well as correction.

The question is not only, “How do we stop this behaviour?”
It is also, “What does this child need from us right now?”

I woke up at 4:30 this morning with ✨️ideas✨️ so naturally I changed my entire presentation for today.

If you're free, I'd love for you to join us and see last night's literal dream become today's reality.

Child of mine: Mom, come look at p**p!

Me: Wow. That looks great!
Child: My p**p says it's perfect. I breathe it out. It was soft and brown.
Me: Yes, sir. It's the perfect p**p.

🤣🤣🤣
My hard work of playing "What Does My P**p Say" (always sung to the tune of "What does the fox say") has finally paid off. All kids can identify what their p**p "says" to them. Is it hard or soft? Is it snake-like, dry or too loose? Is it the correct color of brown or do we need to review what they ate? The perfect p**p AND my child understanding what their p**p is telling them about their health? Victory. 🏆

May your pelvic floor be strong enough to laugh at this without leaking. 🤣🤣

🔥🔥ONE WEEK🔥🔥

Next Saturday we kick off World Breastfeeding Week (WBW). It's a week of FREE events around the Coastal Bend area.

❗️❣️❗️While it is WBW, I want to highlight that this event is open to ALL Moms. We are here to support and connect with everyone!

❤️️Saturday is our family field day. There will be field day style games for the kids. We will have a "Simon Says: Emotions are Energy in Movement" class at 10:30, a babywearing class at 11:15 and I'll be teaching a pelvic floor movement class at noon.

🧡On Sunday we have two amazing OTs around the Coastal Bend area doing developmental movement classes at our local play places for the littlest members of our families.

💛On Monday we have 5 amazing presentations ranging from human milk and nutrition in the perinatal period to how fathers and partners play a role in breastfeeding. We also talk about safe sleep and how social media influences feeding options.

💚Tuesday we come in hot while talking about breastfeeding multiples and supporting breastfeeding when there are complications and mom and baby are separated. It's followed up with the role of chiropractic care for mom and baby. We then will have an open discussion with one of our local pediatricians who is also an IBCLC (bring any questions you might have). I will then talk about how to support a mom after a cesarean birth. We end the day with a panel of nurses to talk about how they play an early role in nursing.

💙Wednesday is a day full of support. We start the day talking about pelvic floor health and breastfeeding. We have another pediatrician talking about their role in breastfeeding. I will then talk about physical supports for the overwhelmed mom (full disclosure, it's definitely geared towards Neurodivergent moms, but it is a safe space for any mom that feels like they are getting out-touched or overwhelmed). One of my personal favorite talks is next and that's talking about perinatal mental health...both mom and dads! We then wrap the day with a talk about prenatal education and its impact on breastfeeding.

🩵Thursday we kick off with a topic nobody wants to think about while pregnant, but we should talk about more...supporting lactation in the NICU. We then move into a lighter topic of supporting early communication through feeding. We move back into the emotionally harder topic to discuss the disparities of breastfeeding and how to support those who are largely undersupported. We then talk about connecting with baby while weaning and end the day with bellydancing. 💃

💜We wrap the week up on Friday with all things that start in the mouth. We start the day talking about eating for a healthy pregnancy. Then move into the myths and facts of cavities and breastfeeding. That's followed by two sessions on tethered oral ties (tongue ties) - the first highlighting what they are and the second a panel discussion with a variety of providers to discuss a whole body approach to tongue tie release. We end the week where we started...talking about how the communities we build strengthen breastfeeding success.

⭐️Let's be real, building a community helps more than breastfeeding. It supports maternal mental health, the mental, physical and emotional development of kids, and the entire family.

If you're available for any of the days, we would love for you to join us.

Did I just do a giddy dance at this announcement? You betcha. The majority of these speakers have helped me both personally and professionally. They have largely shaped HOW I practice and are frequently on the top of my list when people ask for advice. If you have a Neurodivergent child or work with ND kiddos, this is a phenomenal summit.

The Think Sensory Summit is back!

We listened to your amazing feedback and this summit is better than ever!
