Sensitivity to Senses
Ask yourself: How sensitive is my child to light, smells, sounds and touching?
What happens if there is a loud noise in our house? How does my child react if there is a bright light nearby? What happens when he eats something that has a new taste? How does she react when I hug or touch her? If there is a bad smell nearby, does he notice?
A child who is Sensitive to Senses:
- May become fussy if there are loud noises or bright lights.
- Learns by seeing, touching, and using all of her senses.
- May be cuddly and sometimes clingy.
A child who is Less Sensitive to Senses:
- Often is not interested in hugging or touching.
- Enjoys brighter lights and louder music.
- May sleep through noise and lights.
