I am a licensed Occupational Therapist specializing in pediatrics and sensory integration with over 20 years of experience. As a newly published author of the book Why is My Kid Doing That? A Sensory Approach to Understanding Your Child’s Behavior, I enjoy teaching and speaking at conferences for educators and parents to empower them with tools to both understand and help their children succeed.
During my career, I have developed outpatient pediatric programs and spend time in schools sharing classroom strategies with teachers to create an environment to enhance learning. I have blogged for Melissa and Doug and maintain my own blog at www.cindyutzinger.com.
Most importantly, I have the privilege of being a wife and a mom to a 13-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter who serve as both my inspiration and motivation.

However, this book makes parenting and child-rearing a bit easier, and gives parents, tutors, and caregivers hope in handling the worrisome quirks of their children without feeling overwhelmed. The book speaks about the importance of having a solid foundation, which is important to all other learning so that they can learn and develop well.

The practical and numerous alternatives given by the author will definitely help educators and parents to better understand the sensory behaviors of children. Why is My Kid Doing That?
