A story about big feelings, brave moments, and finding calm inside.
Welcome to the very first episode of Unlocking Stories — a sensory-friendly podcast created with love for children who feel the world just a little more deeply.
In this episode, we meet Leo, a 7-year-old boy who loves clouds, soft sounds, and quiet corners. But today… everything feels too loud.
From slamming doors to buzzing classrooms and flashing lights, Leo becomes overwhelmed by all the noise and energy around him.
But Leo is learning something powerful — that it’s okay to need a break. It’s okay to ask for space.
And sometimes… the bravest thing you can do is breathe.
This story gently explores:
- Sensory overload in a school day
- Emotional regulation through self-soothing
- The importance of calm corners and safe spaces
- Affirmations and connection for neurodiverse children
