- Grandview Kids blog: What’s all this talk about Interoception?
- Interoception is our sense responsible for noticing feelings in our body. By feelings, we don’t just mean emotions like happy or sad. Feelings include hunger, thirst, being cold or hot, or having to use the washroom. Interoception helps us answer the question: “How do I feel?” Learn more about interoception at the link above.
