This is the third episode in my sensory series and this one is all about the vestibular system. Now for years, I was confused by it, I had heard the name, I knew of it but I didn’t understand how it was different to the proprioceptive system. So we’re going to dive deep into it and clarify any confusion you may have about it but for some background; the vestibular system is all about the position of our head in space and how it is affected by the liquid in our ear which brushes up against tiny little hairs. But why do we have it? This helps our brains to understand where we are in space, it helps us to balance and to judge speed as well as playing a big part in our muscle tone and even helps with cooking or tying our shoelaces. It is so integral to our everyday life yet most of us have no idea we even have it! For full show notes visit https://exceptionalparentingpodcast.com/episode97/
