Hey Momma,

Are you exhausted from trying “all the strategies” — swings, fidgets, weighted blankets — but nothing seems to stick?

Do meltdowns keep happening, even though you're doing your best to respond calmly and offer regulation tools?

Are you feeling lost trying to understand what’s really going on underneath your child’s challenging behaviors?

Join the Sensory Breakthrough – a personalized, neuro-affirming assessment to uncover your child’s unique sensory profile and build an environment where they can truly thrive. 👉 Tap here to join before it closes at the end of November!

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on sensory processing and why it's the root system of your child’s development — not just another behavioral checklist. You’ll hear:

• Why traditional strategies (like calm-down corners or fidgets) might not be working the way you hoped
• How to identify the true sensory needs that fuel behavior, instead of just reacting to outbursts
• A breakdown of the Pyramid of Learning, showing how sensory systems influence emotional regulation, attention, and learning
• Practical tips to start your own Sensory Observation Journal to decode your child’s unique neuro signature
• A gentle reminder: this isn’t about fixing your child — it’s about supporting their nervous system to feel safe, connected, and capable

If this episode sparked clarity or gave you a new lens on your child’s needs, we’d love to hear from you.

If screen time feels like a double-edged sword — lifesaving for your sanity but meltdown-inducing when it’s time to turn it off — you’re not alone.

In today’s episode of Sensory Savvy Mama, we’re talking about screens, sensory needs, and how to use technology intentionally without guilt, shame, or chaos.

This is not an anti-screen episode.

This is a compassion-first, nervous-system-first approach to using screens as a tool — especially for neurodivergent kids who feel safe, regulated, and predictable when they’re watching or playing.

Ep 29 // Why Fidgets Aren’t Working (And What Actually Helps)

• Do you feel like your child is constantly on the move, and no amount of sensory toys or fidgets seem to “work”?
• Have you ever wondered why the tools that calm other kids don’t seem to help yours?
• Are you stuck in a cycle of guessing what your sensory-seeking child actually needs to feel regulated?

In this episode, lets discuss one of the most common sensory misconceptions parents face: the belief that a fidget is a one-size-fits-all solution for sensory needs. Let’s gently unpacks why some children need far more than a handheld toy to regulate — especially when their nervous system is craving deep proprioceptive input.

You’ll learn how to start decoding your child’s unique sensory signature, why movement can be a need (not a behavior), and how to build a more supportive rhythm into your day — using simple tools, sensory awareness, and compassionate curiosity.

Whether you’re navigating meltdowns, pacing in the classroom, or that “I’ve tried everything” feeling, this episode offers clarity and relief.
