Description

Large scale events and overwhelming environments can cause sensory overload. Join Aniesa as she explains how to deal with sensory overwhelm, crowds and transitions. Learn how to become child-led and discover how to help anyone struggling with sensory overwhelm.
KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• It’s important to remember that if you as an adult are experiencing sensory overload, it is likely, even more, overwhelming for a child.
• Everybody reacts differently to environmental transitions so it is vital to be consistent and constant by gauging your child’s reaction to change, let yourself be led by your children.
• Aim to be child-led when it comes to activities, some parents will take their kids to festivals and large events but if it is not comfortable for your child from a sensory point of view then do not force it upon them.

BEST MOMENTS 
“The sensory overload from everyone talking about the same thing was overwhelming for me.” 
“Crowds are a huge source of sensory overwhelm.”
“If your child is becoming overwhelmed, think about what sensory distractions you can put in place to help them focus.”
