About this Event

Sensory Parenting for Sensory Children

Are you a parent of a sensory child? Join our in-person event to learn all about sensory parenting! Discover effective strategies and techniques that will help you understand and support your sensory child's unique needs. Emtia Bartlett, Occupational Therapist, will share her knowledge and encourage discussion with reference to the book 'Sensory Parenting for Sensory Children' by the author Tanya van Dalen. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with other parents facing similar challenges, and gain valuable insights into sensory processing issues and parenting styles and how they impact and are influenced by sensory children.

Here is what previous parents have had to say after attending:

'It was great to be able to hear from, and talk to, people who have similar experiences to my own with their children. I’ve dealt with this on my own (with my partner) without discussing with friends and family. To hear other peoples’ methods and struggles helped me so much. We have incorporated several of the tactics discussed and become more accepting of some behaviours too after understanding more about sensory challenges.'

‘I found the shared experiences with other parents most helpful. I have a better understanding of why my children respond to different stimuli – and what I can do to help it!;

‘Would I recommend this course to other parents? Yes! If a parent is struggling it provides a safe space to understand how to support your child.’

‘It was most helpful to learn about my own sensory needs and how this impacts my behaviour and my relationship with my children’
