🌟 Understanding Sensory Overload 🌟
Sensory overload happens when a child’s senses — sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell — get more input than they can process. It can lead to stress, frustration, or meltdowns, but recognizing the triggers can make all the difference.
Common triggers include loud noises, bright lights, crowded spaces, certain textures, or strong smells. By creating a calm and supportive environment, we can help children feel safe, regulated, and confident. 💛
