SPD Kids, or those with sensory processing disorder have problems processing sensory stimuli because they aren’t interpreted correctly by the brain and nervous system. This can present as appearing clumsy, they can trip easily, have poor balance, and have difficulty handling small buttons or snaps. They also have a high sensitivity to noise and pain.
SPD kids will avoid sensory stimulation, and will not put their hands in anything messy like glue, clay, or mud. They might not be able to tolerate being barefoot on grass or wearing certain clothes. This can come as a challenge for parents who need their children to bathe daily.
This is a child that needs routine, and to not steer away from the bath or shower. This can be a calming experience during the day or night for this population once they make peace with the routine, or have a good experience through repetition. Water temperature and how the water comes into the tub (bath or shower) can be something to monitor with your child to see if they have a preference, this child can be more sensitive than others to the sensory input of water.
My advice is as a parent if you can stick to a schedule, do it and overall consistency is calming. And nothing can get a child ready for bed more effectively than including a warm bath or shower in their nightly routine.
