senses

(flower centrepiece for dinner)

this is a boring blog.

i am in love with the word sense/ senses.

its the neurological and physical sense which im referring to, than the "common" sense one (although, that one, we need too).

i blame it when i fell in love with my neurological/stroke placement, and now, im in paediatrics, im in love with it more.

im starting to think and be aware more of what specialization im going to be in when i fully qualify, but, still, its early days. i may change my mind the next placement if im put somewhere like social care, for example.

sensory play, sensory integration, and sensory mechanics (and sensory stimulation toys and tasks), all im taking in with alot of gusto and welcome.

im just basking in the things im learning each and every day. all the seminars im attending, all the one-on-one sessions i have with each child (and learning their personalities), and the wonderful books im reading---just lures me into this aladdin cave of information.

i feel theres a minefield out there which waits for me to put in my two cents and give it my best shot.

each person has some sort of sensory problem. mine is focus. i have difficulty processing information when theres so much sensory stimulation going on around me. sensory tolerance could also be a problem. i can only take things in small doses. i understand now that to get the best possible learning out of me, i need to break down things in small doses, and frequent breaks in between, and limiting any other things going on around me as well.

i wish i could say the same about my eating habit.


i told you this was boring.
