  • Beyond Behavior: Understanding Sensory Needs and Regulation in Children with Madeha Ayub

    Beyond Behavior: Understanding Sensory Needs and Regulation in Children with Madeha Ayub
    Apr 1 2026
    Children’s behavior is often seen at the surface—but what if there’s so much more underneath? In this episode, we explore the powerful role sensory processing plays in shaping how children experience and respond to the world around them. Pediatric Occupational Therapist Madeha Ayub helps us reframe “challenging behavior” through a more compassionate, informed lens, offering parents a deeper understanding of regulation and connection. Together, we talk about how to recognize when a child may need sensory support, how to approach big emotions and transitions with more ease, and simple ways to create a sensory-supportive home without overwhelm. We also expand the conversation beyond children, exploring how a parent’s own nervous system and sensory needs impact family dynamics—and what real, compassionate self-support can look like in everyday life. This conversation is both grounding and empowering, offering practical tools and meaningful mindset shifts to help families move from frustration to understanding.

    Newborn and Childhood Vaccinations with Dr. Ana-Maria Temple - A Revisit
    Mar 18 2026
    The vaccination schedule for your baby can feel daunting. It also may seem a little strange, you might wonder why a newborn needs to be protected against Hepatitis B? Between frequent visits to the pediatrician and fears you might have over adverse reactions to the vaccines, many parents wonder how they can best support their child. In this episode of Yoga|Birth|Babies I speak with holistic pediatrician Dr. Ana-Maria Temple about newborn and childhood vaccinations. In an easily digestible manner, she explains the vaccines babies are given and why they are given at such a young age. We discuss the possibility to delay certain vaccines and why a parent might consider doing that. Dr. Temple also offers resources and questions you might ask your pediatrician to get everyone working together and ensure care is aligned with your family’s goals. As Dr. Temple says “If you understand the why, you can then make decisions and choices.” Get the most out of each episode by checking out the show notes with links, resources and other related podcasts at: prenatalyogacenter.com Don’t forget to grab your FREE guide, 5 Simple Solutions to the Most Common Pregnancy Pains HERE If you love what you’ve been listening to, please leave a rating and review!
