Proprioception: Unraveling the Hidden Sense that Shapes Behavior

Most parents have never heard of proprioception — and yet it's one of the most powerful levers for regulation in outside-the-box kids. It's the body's hidden sense of position, pressure, and movement, and when it's not working the way it should, you often see it show up as crashing, pushing, squeezing, meltdowns after transitions, or a kid who just can't seem to settle.

This session is part of Kinspire's Sensory Systems series , designed to give parents real knowledge — not just tips — so you can understand what's happening in your child's body and respond with confidence.
