Five Senses Check-In — What Do You Notice Right Now?
Child pauses and works through a sensory grounding exercise: name 5 things you see, 4 you hear, 3 you can touch, 2 you smell, and 1 you taste. The agent guides the parent to observe present-moment awareness, sensory vocabulary, and the child's ability to sustain focused attention. Builds mindfulness, body awareness, and the foundational skill of pausing to notice.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
