#sensoryprocessingdisorder, #sensoryprocessingissues https://youtu.be/SeWTbVGUEm4 Freebie: https://bit.ly/BFClsrmsetupLP1 Hey there! Have you ever wondered why your sweet, bight and sensitive kid has certain quirky personality traits or has a low tolerance for certain foods, fabrics, or environments? You are not going crazy and your child is not necessarily behaving like a "brat" on purpose. He or she may not know how to properly interpret what he/she hears, sees, smells, tastes, or touches. It might not be a simple behavior issue at all! This video discusses Sensory Processing Disorder and some early warning signs. I also share stories about how sensory issues have impacted my family and offer some possible solutions for you. Please share your stories with me in the comments section.

#homeschooltips #homeschoolhelp #homeschoolmanagement Freebie: https://bit.ly/BFClsrmsetupLP1 https://youtu.be/iCMCkUyzWjI Hey there! I hope it's been a great week. I am grateful for each and every single one of you. In this video, I show you what I put in a "busy bucket". These are dedicated items placed in a container somewhere in your homeschool room or throughout your home-your choice. If your kiddos finish homeschool work before others or they need a brain break, send them to these busy buckets. The beautiful thing about these busy buckets is they are already prepared with some of their favorite activities, so kids want to engage in them. Best of all, you are now free to work with your other children who need assistance. By the way, you can also use these when you need a minute to yourself or if you need to keep kids distracted during a car ride since busy buckets are portable. Try it in your homeschool and you will be amazed at how much your stress is reduced. Please email me at teachmetracyt@gmail.com if you have any questions. Make it a great day!
