If your child melts down over socks, tags, hair brushing, textures, or touch, the answer may not be less sensory input.
It may be helping their brain learn how to process sensory input differently.
One of the tools we use for this is the
The brain learns through sensory experiences. Every new sensation provides information that the brain has to process, organize, and respond to. When we intentionally introduce different types of sensory input, we create opportunities for the nervous system to build stronger connections and become more adaptable.
When we’re working on primitive reflexes like the Spinal Galant, Babinski, and Palmer reflexes, sensory input is often a missing piece of the puzzle.
Many kids who struggle with sensory sensitivities aren’t broken. Their brains may simply need more opportunities to experience, process, and organize input in a safe and intentional way.
In this video we’re pairing the Pranamat with movement and breath work:
• Pressure through the hands
• Stepping on and off the mat
• Gentle input through the back
• Forearm pressure
• Deep breathing throughout
The goal isn’t to force a child through uncomfortable sensations. The goal is to help the brain become more regulated, more adaptable, and less reactive over time.
We use Pranamats almost daily in our house. The adults love them for relaxation and recovery, and our kids have become huge fans too.
This is just one of many tools we use inside Rewired Kids to support focus, emotional regulation, coordination, sensory processing, and confidence.
