The Sensory-Sensitive Child: Practical Solutions for Out-Of-Bounds Behavior by Karen A. Smith and Karen R. Gouze

$13.95

In a book likely to transform how parents manage many of their child's daily struggles, Drs. Smith and Gouze explain the central and frequently unrecognized role that sensory processing problems play in a child's emotional and behavioral difficulties. Practicing child psychologists and themselves parents of children with sensory integration problems, their message is innovative, practical and above all full of hope. A child with sensory processing problems overreacts or under reacts to sensory experiences most of us take in stride. A busy classroom, new clothes, food smells, sports activities, even hugs can send such a childe spinning out of control. The result can be heartbreaking: battles over dressing, bathing, schoolwork, social functions, holidays and countless other events. In addition, the authors say, many childhood psychiatric disorders may have an unidentified sensory component.
