Listen "Ep 46 - Our Hidden Senses"
Episode Synopsis
Today Julie and Ginger invite Jessica Sinarski into the studio. If you think her name seems familiar, then you are correct. Jessica has been here before. This is her second appearance with us! Jessica is a therapist, speaker and change maker. She is the founder of Brave Brains and the author of the Riley the Brave series, Hello Anger and more. Her latest book, Riley the Brave’s Sensational Senses, teaches children about their senses with strategies for emotional
regulation. Jessica recently began her deep dive into the world of the senses. She saw that sensory processing was difficult for kids from foster care. In fact, she claims that almost all children with early childhood trauma have issues with sensory processing.
We are all familiar with the five senses – sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch – but Jessica says there are three more! Listen in to learn about those additional senses. Additionally, Jessica has great advice on how adults can help children deal with difficult sensory input. She
says, “Let’s be curious!!!! Let’s be proactive! Let’s be flexible!”
