Fall Allergies Can Trigger Sensory Issues

September 28, 2022 by jennifer 3 Comments

With the pick-up of seasonal allergies, are you noticing your child seems more sensitive than usual? We often talk about sensory triggers for our children; however, I rarely hear parents talk about how allergies come into play.

Even mild seasonal allergies can be enough to trigger sensory reactions in kids. As a life-long allergy sufferer, I can attest to the fact that when my allergies get riled up, so does my body.

I’ve watched the same reaction in my kids. When my youngest is having a rough allergy day, everything ends up in his mouth — his hands, clothes, stuffed animals, blankets, you name it. He’s looking for an outlet to make himself feel better.

To help our parents whose children have mild allergy issues, I’ve put together suggestions on how you can naturally fight fall allergies in your home and give your sensory kiddo some relief.

    Doesn’t matter if it’s allergies, the flu, or even a physical injury – if anything physical is causing discomfort or fatigue, it’ll make me more sensitive.

      I would think that true for most folks with sensory issues… but a lot of times people discount their children’s allergies because they’re mild. But it doesn’t take much to get someone off kilter!

    Thank you for those tips Jennifer. I’ve got a 3-year old and he’s starting to have some mild allergy issues. We are preparing a plan of actions, so this is quite helpful. – Sam
