It was tough to see my youngest go… I just wasn’t emotionally ready for it. But he certainly was!

We are the opposite, and my youngest is a seeker who would probably love being adopted for the day! That’s awesome your kiddo tries to ride them, that’s huge.

You really can’t ask for any more than that! What a brave kiddo… and I love that he surprised you 😀

My kiddo always surprises me too, and usually it’s because I’ve underestimated what he can do. When we went to the water park recently, I also told him that he had to try a big one…just once. He ended up loving it but didn’t want to “branch out” to any others. I was proud of him for trying and stretching himself outside his comfort zone. What more can we ask?

I like the word “train” because you are absolutely right, I’ve had to train myself as well 🙂 As parents, we need to know when sensory can be too much while also balancing the freedom kids need to explore their own world and figure out what’s right for them.

Parenting is one big long process, right? But having a sensory kid in particular has taught me to always always always include my kids in the process. It sets them up to try new things on their own terms and perhaps even like a few of them 😉

I have found myself cringing when I think my child is going to have a negative reaction – only to see them jump in with both feet. I have had to train myself to not decide for them what they can or cannot do. Love your story. We are working on boat rides at lego land – that is as daring as it gets right now at my house. I am Vestibularly challenged as well – as I get sick just looking down when we are driving! Thanks for hosting #sensorybloghop

I like that you make things like this a process by talking about it, agreeing on something, and then asking them to simply try it once. I really think when kids are involved in these decisions, they will surprise us, which is the value of involving them. Yes, sometimes the surprise goes the other way, BUT it’s all part of the process. I appreciate your perspective on this. Thank you for sharing!
