What if your child's most baffling behaviour isn't defiance or attitude at all?
Consequences, reward charts, and bribes haven't stopped the meltdowns, refusals, or shutdowns. That's because it's not about discipline. It's about the sensory system (that no-one teaches us by the way!)
I'm joined by occupational therapist Laura Petix, author of the new book The Sensory Code, and founder of Instagram's @theotbutterfly, to talk about a topic that doesn't get enough airtime. Laura shares how looking at behaviour from a different angle, kind of like coming in through a side window, can change everything about how you understand and respond to your child, whether they're a toddler or a teenager.
You'll walk away with a fresh lens, quick practical strategies, and definitely a few lightbulb moments.
Where to find Laura's book The Sensory Code: all good bookstores and online! Head to www.theotbutterfly.com or find her on Instagram. The book is OUT NOW! Go go go :)
