018 Sensory science and Parent Sense | Meg Faure

Aqua Sensory Podcast

In this episode we talk to Meg Faure, Occupational Therapist, co-author of 8 parenting titles including the best-selling Baby Sense and Weaning Sense books, and founder of Parent Sense baby app

We start with a deep dive with how our 8 sensory systems are massively important and how they are affected in water.

“The vestibular sense and proprioceptive sense, which are the critically important hidden senses are both very well targeted when we are swimming with our little ones.”

Meg talks to us from her from her sensory integration therapist and neuro developmental therapist background and relates her knowledge and experiences in the water and baby swimming.

Meg has a way of conveying complicated ‘sensory science’ simply! Like the 4 sensory personalities.

“The most important part is the parent understanding her baby’s sensory personality.”

“Our senses provide the platform, each layer builds upon itself, the sensory systems are our base. When they become over stimulated, it can almost become a little fractured, so it means the next layer, emotional regulation, doesn’t have a good foundation.”

It was a pleasure to talk to Meg about her life’s work supporting parents to help raise resilient, happy children. Check out her amazing books and new parent app: Parent Sense.
