Course overview
Lesson Overview
10.9 – Teaching Sensory Awareness to Loved Ones: Sharing what you’ve learned about sensory health strengthens relationships. Teaching loved ones helps them understand how your environment affects your emotions and behavior. It builds empathy and reduces misunderstandings. You can model coping tools, such as breathing techniques or quiet zones, for others. Teaching turns personal growth into community wellness. As family members learn, they may discover their own sensory patterns too. This mutual understanding creates harmony in shared spaces. By educating others, you build a supportive circle grounded in awareness and respect.
