You're not imagining it. And you're not failing.
If your child melts down over a shirt tag, refuses every food that isn't a certain texture, or needs to crash and climb long after other kids have settled — this guide was written for you. Sensory processing differences affect up to 1 in 6 children, yet most parents spend years being told their child is "just being dramatic" or "needs more discipline." You deserve real answers.
