Hello Reader,
Does your child seem overwhelmed at home—melting down in noisy rooms, avoiding bright lights, or constantly bouncing off the walls?
You're not imagining it. For many kids, especially those with sensitive or seeking nervous systems, the home environment can be just as dysregulating as a crowded classroom or playground.
But here's the good news: You don't need a therapy room or expensive tools to begin making your home more sensory-friendly. With a few intentional changes, you can create a space where your child feels safe, regulated, and ready to connect.
In my latest blog post, I share:
- How to spot signs that your child is dysregulated by their environment
- Small, practical changes you can make—like lighting, movement, and sound adjustments
- How to set up calming corners and use everyday routines to support regulation
We’ll also explore how cultural traditions, family dynamics, and sensory preferences intersect—especially in multicultural homes.
If your child seems “fine” at school but melts down at home—or if you’re not sure how to support their unique sensory profile—I’d love to help.
📞 Schedule a 1:1 parent consultation call where we’ll explore your home environment, your child’s needs, and simple ways to reduce stress—for them and for you.
And if this resonates with someone you know, feel free to forward it or connect with me on LinkedIn, Instagram​, and ​Facebook.
Make your home a place of calm, connection, and comfort.

Warmly,
