Make the Child Stronger
Loading player...
Lauren Edmunds, founder of a school for children with learning delays, explores how to reduce auditory and sensory sensitivity in children.
Rather than simply removing the stimuli that cause distress, she explains how to build tolerance gradually through grounding techniques, body awareness and guided exposure.
She walks through practical tools, including the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method, and outlines how to read whether a child is coping or overwhelmed.
Drawing on Carol Dweck's work on growth mindset, Lauren argues that reducing difficulty or stimulus is not the answer.
The real goal is not to make life easier, but to make the child stronger.
