Am I over-accommodating my child?

What'd you think of the episode? Send me a note! In this episode of the Sensory Code Podcast, I reflect on a personal realization about my daughter's accommodations as she turned nine. I discuss the complacency that can arise in parenting, particularly in providing support for children with sensory processing differences. I emphasize the importance of encouraging independence in daily tasks and the need for continuous assessment of accommodations to foster self-advocacy and personal growth in children. Takeaways I was complacent with the routine accommodations for my daughter. I realized I was holding her back by not reassessing her needs. Accommodations can become habitual and unexamined over time. It's important to encourage independence in daily living skills. Children should learn to ask for the accommodations they need. Development happens under the surface, and children can surprise us. We should continuously check in with our children's needs. Teaching children to advocate for themselves is crucial. Accommodations may be lifelong, and that's okay. The goal is to help children understand their sensory needs. ~Formerly known as The Sensory W.I.S.E.
