Sensory channels, like touch, sound, sight, smell, and movement, can help regulate the body’s stress response. By engaging with calming activities such as weighted blankets, soothing sounds, or visual aids, children can feel grounded and safe, which helps ease trauma-related anxiety.
Using sensory activities like drawing, playing with sand, or sensory toys gives children a non-verbal way to express their emotions. This is especially helpful for kids who may struggle to communicate their feelings after experiencing trauma.
Trauma can disrupt a child's sense of safety and security. Sensory tools like soft textures, calming scents, and familiar sounds can recreate a sense of comfort and security, helping the brain feel safe enough to begin healing.
Sensory activities, like focusing on a particular texture or sound, can help children stay present in the moment. This mindfulness practice reduces the overwhelming feelings of trauma by teaching kids to focus on their immediate environment rather than past stressful experiences.
By using sensory channels such as rhythmic movement (like rocking) or soft music, children learn to regulate their emotions and behaviors. This helps them respond better to stressful situations and improves their overall ability to cope with trauma.
