For a lot of sensory kids, I've found that words don’t work if they don’t match what the body is feeling. Saying “I’m okay” when your body feels overwhelmed? Ridiculous. I've been working on phrases that meet the body where it is: “I can trust myself. My body gives me clues, and I’m learning how to listen.” This kind of language helps kids slow down, notice what’s happening, and feel a little more in control. That’s what supports flexibility—whether it’s with food, noise, textures, or transitions. This is actually a big part of what I’m talking about in the Raising Confident Kids in an Overstimulated World summit—how the nervous system has to come first before strategies (like affirmations) can actually work. The summit starts tomorrow and there are 30+ speakers covering emotional regulation, parenting, and what actually works for today’s kids. If this way of thinking about behavior feels different, you’ll want to be there. 👉 What does “overwhelmed” look like for your children?
