A fresh viewpoint on sensory and behavioral issues in children is provided by An At-Home Guide to Children’s Sensory and Behavioral Problems, which attributes these behaviors to an underdeveloped sensory nervous system and issues with regulation in young children.

In order to address the often-overlooked sensory issues that underlie “problem” behaviors, this book offers an effective at-home intervention called the Qigong Sensory Treatment. It organizes sensory experiences to promote connection and the ability to self-regulate. It presents the reader to the Early Childhood Self-regulatory Milestones, a novel and therapeutically valuable model for comprehending sensory development that is essential to every child’s emotional and behavioral well-being and regulation. It teaches parents how to properly apply the daily QST hands-on routine with clear, step-by-step directions, pictures, and links to online instructional videos.

The treatment paradigm is unique in that it helps parents readily identify, understand, and react to their child’s evolving non-verbal body language and behavioral indicators. A comprehensive workbook part guides parents through learning and applying QST at home over the course of a year. Weekly letters are written by QST Master Trainers, who give their years of knowledge and useful ideas, and by the writers and parents, who relate their personal experiences with the routine. The 52 letters are arranged in a way that anticipates and addresses common queries or roadblocks that parents frequently face at crucial junctures, helping them to successfully navigate their kid’s sensory and behavioral issues and creating happier, less stressful moments with their child.

For parents and professionals who want to better understand and support their child’s developmental challenges, this book will be invaluable.
