Previously Lin Zhiying posted a video of taking his son to "simulate a roller coaster". This training can properly stimulate the vestibule of the child's brain and effectively exercise the vestibular balance. It effectively supplements the vestibular stimulation that modern children lack. In addition, you can also see the sensory integration teaching aids on the ground: river crossing stones and balancing bridges. It seems that the daily life of celebrity dads playing sensory integration games with their children is not ambiguous at all.
Fan Mouqi, a star in Taiwan, also attaches great importance to children's sensory integration training . In the picture, you can also see that the child is receiving tactile training in the ocean ball.
In fact, in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and even the United States, sensory integration training is a required course for children. According to the survey, 80% of children across the country have varying degrees of sensory integration disorders , and 30% have severe sensory integration disorders . Through professional training, the effective rate of improving sensory integration disorders can be as high as 90%. But not every parent is an expert, and they all have difficulties when formulating training plans. In fact, before conducting sensory training for children, should be based on the actual situation and cannot be imagined out of thin air. Before formulating a training plan, it is necessary to accurately assess the child's ability. Parents can go to professional hospitals to find doctors for evaluation. Some large sensory institutions also have more professional evaluation systems. Parents can consult according to their own needs. After assessing the child's abilities, doctors and trainers use professional and precise equipment to design corresponding games and training programs and make a training plan. But having a training plan is not enough. During the training process, the following factors may also be considered:
1. sensory integration ability. Generally, professional assessment is used to determine the level of the child's sensory integration ability, and the main training direction is formulated. Some parents think that sensory training is very simple, just some simple exercises, but in fact, the simpler the projects, the more difficult it is to train the ability. For example, the same scooter has completely different program types and training dimensions for children with different disorders. Therefore, the training plan should be adjusted according to the direction of the child's disorder.

2. Time and frequency. Parents must clearly know the time and frequency that they can cooperate with, so that they can more effectively support their children's training and adjust the amount of training items. Many parents are very enthusiastic at the beginning of training and often find time to do some training for their children. After a period of time, they feel that it is not very important, and the importance they attach to it decreases as time goes by, and in the end they often leave it alone. Therefore, you must balance your personal time and your child's time and allocate them reasonably (whether you are going to a hospital, institution or family intervention training, you will have time to pick up and accompany your child). In today's Chinese families, it is normal to pick up and drop off children across generations. This is undoubtedly a huge support for working parents.

3. Difficulty level, the sensory integration training plan should be formulated from simple to moderately difficult, following the principle of the zone of proximal development. In the early stage, the child can build a sense of successful experience and enhance self-confidence. In the mid-term, it is stable until the child can complete the training on time, quantity and quality. In the later stage, the difficulty can be increased to allow the child to occasionally challenge some difficulties. This more gradual approach is more conducive to the child's acceptance and progress.
Appropriate challenge is necessary for training
4. Emotions, the formulation of training plans must take into account the emotional problems of the child. It is best for us to train when the child is in good condition. If the child is in a bad mood, the absorption will be poor, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced, and the parents will still be very broken, so the training must be carried out and the emotions must be in place. Of course, I think the more important thing here is the parents’ emotions. Parents can guide and comfort their children’s emotions, but parents’ emotions can only be controlled and adjusted by themselves. We often find situations where parents accompany their children to train, and the children are happy, but the parents collapse.
Crying and uncooperation lead to poor results.
5. Interesting . As we all know, children love nothing more than games.Sensory training is more interesting because it has many items, richness and many combination possibilities, so it is very popular among children. Of course, it is inevitable that some parents and teachers will turn interesting sensory integration training into "boring" training, so the introduction of games and the construction of fun are particularly important. Parents can use fairy tales or animal simulations and other situational models to create a training background for their children, and then use storytelling and role-playing to make their children like sensory training. As long as it is interesting enough, I believe their children will like it.
At present, masks are loosened. In the future, there will be a large number of children with sensory integration disorders and developmental delays. They are facing multiple challenges. As parents, there is also great pressure on livelihood and the healthy development of their children. I hope to get some help from my article.
