Parents Forum
This is an opportunity for parents of children and young people registered in the sensory gym to come together to chat about things related to the gym, issues they’re facing and sensory activities they like and those they are sensitive to and need help to self-regulate if exposed to them.
Please use an avatar to protect the privacy of your child and that of your family.
The chat is monitored by your coach to ensure respect towards each other, children and adults involved in the program is maintained in the chat. Please refrain from discussing your child. Discussion may centre around an issue without relaying identifiable behaviours or possible problems they experience.
Swearing, offensive language or disrespectful comments are NOT permissible in this forum and will be moderated for potential breaches of respectful behaviour towards members of staff, a child, young person, or adults involved in the forum or program.
Keep it friendly. We welcome comments that encourage each other on their wins in making changes to create a lifestyle that incorporates self-regulation as a strategy for a cohesive family dynamic whereby each member accepts responsibility to successfully emotionally regulate themselves.
This space is an opportunity to share what you are learning, challenges you’ve faced and strategies you’ve trialed to help overcome these issues. Sharing parts of your journey that you feel safe to share with other parents empowers these families to learn and grow through your experiences It is a vehicle to exchange ideas and suggestions for sensory experiences you might like to try to assist with the challenges you and your child are facing.
We are all learners on this journey of life, including ourselves and coach, and the gym, coaching and shared chat spaces like this forum allow us all to benefit and grow from each other.
Parents please note
This is a safe space for you to talk to other parents possibly experiencing similar challenges to that of your family. Parents are asked NOT to comment with the use of swearing or disrespectful comments. In the event of observing this behaviour, please contact the coach or write a polite reminder in the forum for users to refrain from disrespectful comments in this chat space. Role model the behaviour you wish to see.
