You’ve noticed them on the playground or at the park, the little ones that are always on their toes. Maybe you’ve noticed that your child wears out the outer edges of their shoes while the inner edge looks almost like new. Cutting toenails is a big deal, the right kind of socks or shoes is imperative. And don’t even think about touching or tickling these feet because you could very well get kicked the reaction will be so strong. When the Babinski reflex is retained the arch of the foot is overly sensitive to contact so walking on the balls of the feet lessen that contact or an alternative is stomping to bypasses the tickle response.
At Sense Enabled we use gentle movement based therapies to help kids and teens with sensory sensitivities to be their best selves.
