Overstimulated...and understimulated.
Description
In this conversation, Kelly Rigg and Ashley Vanerio explore the complexities of sensory sensitivities and not just through the eyes of neurodivergence, but the importance of setting boundaries, and the need for self-care in parenting as we work so hard to meet the needs of our children. They discuss how sensory overload affects family dynamics and the significance of engaging and understanding our sensory experience of the world. They discuss how overstimulation and under-stimulation - be it too much noise or being stuck at home for days, can affect focus, drive, satisfaction and emotional well-being, and emphasize the significance of recognizing personal limits and needs. Ultimately, they advocate for listening to one's body and respecting your needs as well as your children's, to foster a healthier family environment that is sustainable.
