Abstract
Interoception, the eighth sensory system, connects emotional regulation, perspective-taking, and problem solving- foundational skills needed for future success. There has been limited research on interventions with children encompassing interoceptive awareness, the awareness and perception of sensations from inside the body. The information gathered from a recent study examined how participants experienced a bidirectional, reflective, online intervention program on interoceptive awareness and how it affected caregiver-child relationships. Positive interactions, attunement, awareness of interactions with others, and the ability to watch for cues materialized in the participants' stories, emphasizing the need for further education for caregivers and training programs about development for early childhood professionals.
