“My child bites everything. Is it just a phase?”

You’re not alone.

Many parents of children with sensory processing needs often find themselves asking:


  • “Why does my child chew on their shirt or toys?”

  • “Is picky eating a sensory issue?”

  • “How do I improve my child’s handwriting if they won’t even hold a pencil?”



These aren’t just quirks — they’re signals.

Signals that your child may need structured sensory integration support. And that’s exactly what we explored in our latest hands-on workshop.



Inside the Workshop: Real Solutions, Real Strategies




Last Saturday, we hosted a Sensory Integration Workshop in collaboration with SK Abdul Samat PPKI, tailored to help parents better understand and support their child’s sensory needs.


With 5 interactive stations, the session covered three crucial sensory areas:


  • Vestibular (balance and movement)

  • Proprioception (body awareness and muscle control)

  • Tactile (touch and texture sensitivity)


What made this workshop unique?


✅ Practical demos — not just theory

✅ Live oral sensory massage techniques to reduce biting

✅ Tools for pre-handwriting exercises — and how to use them at home

✅ Balancing activities to support core development

✅ Strategies to reduce sensory overload during meals, play, and school


We also introduced the Pyramid of Learning, helping parents identify the foundation their child needs before expecting focus or academic progress.



What Parents Took Home



More than just knowledge — parents walked away with:


  • A better understanding of why their child reacts the way they do

  • The confidence to try at-home strategies immediately

  • A sense of community by connecting with other parents facing similar challenges

  • Physical tools like pre-writing aids and oral massage techniques

  • And most importantly — hope
