Is it a Meltdown or Sensory Overload? Regulation Tips with Dr. Faye Poole

What if your child’s "difficult behavior" is actually a sensory SOS? In this episode of Dam Parenting, Eva sits down with resident child psychologist Faye from Kerr Psychology to take a warm, honest, and direct look at the sensory systems that govern our children’s worlds. We go beyond sight and sound to explain proprioception and vestibular input—the hidden systems that help kids feel grounded, focused, and calm.

Faye breaks down why transitions—like heading back to school or returning from holidays—can trigger sensory overload and offers practical, low-pressure ways to support your child through "heavy work" and movement. From big bear hugs and climbing to the simple act of carrying a heavy grocery bag, we explore how everyday activities can provide the regulation your child needs. If you’re tired of the "trial and error" and want to understand the why behind the wiggle, this episode provides the clarity you’ve been looking for.
