Ever wonder why your child loves big bear hugs, wiggles in their seat, or seems extra sensitive to clothing tags?
In this episode of The Development Download, our occupational therapists chat about two "hidden" senses: tactile (touch) and proprioception (body awareness).
We'll share what they are, why they matter for everyday life, and simple ways you can support your child's sensory needs at home. Tune in for real-life examples, practical tips, and a better understanding of how your child experiences the world.
