What is sensory system disorder?
The full name is sensory integration disorder, sensory integration is the function of the brain, sensory integration disorder is a kind of brain dysfunction.
Sensory system is when the brain receives information and then transmits the information to the body, allowing the body to manifest itself.
For example: sensory system = traffic police, information = the car driving on the road
When we have a lot of information and a lot of traffic, it is easy to cause traffic jams. Information cannot reach the brain, or information assigned by the brain cannot reach the body. In fact, the five senses of the human body cannot work in synergy with the brain, and the coordination between the body and the brain is poor.
In recent years, with the popularization of sensory integration, parents' understanding of sensory integration has been deepening, and more and more attention has been paid to children's sensory integration disorders.
But not every parent is a psychologist or education expert, so before the child does sensory integration training, parents must know the 7 truths!
1
The child is still young, just grow up
Inattention, language development delay, irritability, timidity, crying, poor physical coordination....
When the child is young, if these problems occur, many parents will disagree, thinking that the child is young and will grow up.
To know that sensory integration is not innate, the day after tomorrow's training is very important.
Children need to maintain contact with the surrounding things from an early age, accept the stimulation of environmental information, and take the initiative to coordinate the brain and body through training, in order to continuously promote the development and improvement of sensory integration.
If parents do not provide their children with sufficient training and learning opportunities, then the ability to integrate feelings cannot be developed.

Sensory system disorder is a disease
Some parents think that sensory imbalance is a kind of unsightly disease, in fact, all children have sensory system disorders, but there are differences in degree, even adults will have sensory imbalance.
For example: motion sickness, fear of heights, etc., these are all manifestations of sensory imbalance.
Although sensory system disorders are not diseases, they can hinder the development of children's abilities such as concentration, learning, physical coordination, emotional control, and interpersonal skills.
If you can't improve it in time through targeted sensory training, I'm afraid that children will encounter many difficulties in the process of life and learning in the future.
3
Normal children do not need sensory system training
Some parents hear the term sensory integration course and feel that this is a lesson for special children, and my children do not need it.
In fact, the process of sensory integration is an activity that we humans carry out all the time, and everyone's life and learning are inseparable from sensory integration.
Due to the improvement of people's living standards and the rapid development of the economy, people's living habits are gradually changing, and the growth process of children has also undergone many changes - children's play time has become less, the activity space is limited, parents are overprotective, and the elderly bring children.
The emergence of these problems has led to an increasing number of children with sensory imbalances. Therefore, every child around us should play more sensory training games to give children a better space for growth.

Sensory integration training is physical education
Some parents simply understand sensory system training as physical training, and even think that physical activity can be completely replaced, which is actually wrong.
Although physical exercise can stimulate the development of muscles and nerves to a certain extent, its stimulation of the body's senses is very limited, and the effect achieved is not obvious.
The process of sensory training is to create a certain environment for children to receive correct, rich, and uninterrupted sensory stimuli to achieve the purpose of activating children's psychology and triggering positive behavioral responses.
Simply emphasizing a certain aspect of sensory stimulation, such as large muscle movement, will inevitably affect the training effect, and even make children's sensory integration ability change from balance to imbalance.
5
Just leave the sensory training to the teacher
Some parents attach importance to sensory integration training, but think that it is enough to have a professional teacher with the baby, and there is no need for parents to bother.
In fact, parent-child communication in the training process is an important basis for the development of sensory integration, for children, parents are the best teachers of children, and they are also indispensable auxiliary personnel in sensory integration training.
With your encouragement and praise in daily care, your baby will train harder and contribute to your baby's healthy physical and mental development.
6
Must go to the sensory system agency, can parents give their children professional sensory integration training at home?
Sensory integration training is through professional training equipment, so that children stimulate their brain function in the process of playing, exercise children's vestibular sense, touch and proprioception, thereby improving the child's sensory integration ability training.
However, sensory system training has extremely high requirements for the use of sensory system teaching aids, the intensity of sensory system training, and the scientific systematization of the sensory system plan, and parents cannot carry it out on their own.
7
How should sensory system disorders be improved?
Professional sensory system assessment - sensory integration ability assessment - develop a targeted sensory integration training plan - the process of periodic sexy system ability assessment to carry out scientific training and improvement.
It usually requires professional sensory system training, and at the same time, under the guidance of the sensory system teacher, appropriate family integration games and correct family parenting methods are supplemented to cooperate.

Children feel integrated into the training age group
Fetal period:
The mother exercises moderately to enhance the sensory stimulation of the fetus; as far as possible, the birth is smooth, and the effects of caesarean section on the fetus are avoided.
0-3 years old: the basic period of sensory system training
Interact more with your child to promote your child's language development
Adhere to the touch massage to promote the development of children's sense of touch
Encourage children to crawl and promote brain differentiation and ontogenesis development
Avoid using walkers to promote the development of children's sensory system
Increase your outdoor time and ample sensory learning
Cultivate the ability to be independent, not overly doting, not overdoing
With the help of online and offline early education courses, promote children's all-round development
3-6 years old: the golden age of sensory integration training
If there is a sensory system disorder, timely training and improvement
Sensory system is good and preventive training is possible
At this stage, the child is in the golden stage of training, and the improvement effect is remarkable
6-12 years old: remedial period for sensory integration training
If there is a sensory system problem, timely training
The younger the age, the more malleable the brain and the more pronounced the training effect
Generally over 12 years old, sensory system training has little effect
If you want to have a more comprehensive understanding of the child's sensory training and the level of ability development in all aspects, you can make one-on-one ability assessment and experience class appointments to make an excellent growth plan tailored for your baby.
