About this title

Synopsis

Every child does things that leave us scratching our heads and asking ourselves, “Why?” In Why is My Kid Doing That? you will learn that the answer is often found when we peel back the layers and take a closer look at the child’s sensory system. Author Cindy Utzinger OTR/L breaks down sensory processing into easy to understand language and explains how to use a sensory approach to help our children successfully gain motor skills and emotional and behavioral regulation. Every child will benefit from a strong sensory foundation. With an understanding of ’why’ and the knowledge of how to help, parents and educators are empowered to raise confident and successful children.

From the Author

"Why?"  That is the question I have longed to answer throughout my life and it only got worse once I became a parent. My husband and I say that we find ourselves saying things we never thought we'd say once we became parents. Things like "Get out of the trash can." "You can't wear the same socks for 7 days in a row." "Don't put chicken nuggets up your nose." and "You're not supposed to do handstands during your soccer game."

I found that I'm not alone and every parent I've talked to finds themselves in the same conundrum. I have the privilege as a pediatric Occupational Therapist of shining light for parents and educators by helping them put the pieces of the puzzle together as they answer the Why? and then empower them to know what to do to help.

As a parent who walks the walk and as an Occupational Therapist, I've set out to bring hope to parents, caregivers, and educators. I'm on a mission to help each child have the sensory foundation they need for confidence and success. As a clinician and author of Why is My Kid Doing That?: A Sensory Approach to Understanding Your Child's Behavior , I want to help you have your lightbulb moment.
