So what does this mean?
Your kid seems a bit sensory-sensitive. Loud noises make them cringe. Scratchy clothes irritate their skin. And big routine switches throw them for a loop.

Alright mama,
Lastly, join our free and private Calm Mama Community online. Connect with fellow mamas walking this same journey. Share triumphs, tears, and tips. You need a village and we gotchu.
Watch your child closely and pinpoint what sends your child's senses into overdrive. Make a list of tricky noises, lights, textures, or situations across home, school, play. Begin to strategize ways to lessen those triggers.
Make small tweaks at home, school, activities to minimize those intense sensory inputs. Earmuffs, sunglasses, tagless tees — you've got this! It shows them you really listen.
It's just like the oxygen mask rule on planes! Shifting your mindset and modifying your reactions can have a massive impact on your child. A peaceful mind = a peaceful mama.
Here's the deal
Connecting to your kiddo's intense reactions can be straight-up exhausting
and it's no joke.
Cancel your plans, put on those Cozy Earth PJs you splurged on (thank you Oprah's Fave Things), and queue up season 3 of "The Morning Show" - then binge the night away (sans kids)
Say "peace out" to the usual routine... order in from that place with the to-die-for garlic knots, indulge in a hemp seed salt bath before drifting off listening to The Sleep Pod stories on Spotify
FaceTime a fellow mama-in-arms who isn't offended by your "I'm loosin' my f'in mind" rant...this may be the most beneficial of all!
Find those tiny pockets of self-care whenever you can.
Trust me, I know it's not always possible. Some days just surviving till bedtime is an accomplishment worth celebrating.
Showing our littles that mama's needs matter too is some of the best life advice we can give 'em. #truth
Believe it or not, focusing on your own transformation first will have the greatest impact on your child. Trust me.
