sound sensitivity in my kid

[Guest guest]

Hello, I joined this group because of my 4 year old daughter. She has

sensory issues where noise bothers her a lot, noises dull or loud. She

gets bothered by airplane or truck noises coming from outside. She

looses her concentration. She is just learning how to talk bc she has

motor coordination issues with speech. She gets very upset with noises

that kids make in her class when they are agitated. That makes her

very upset. My question to you is, is there a way to desensitize sound

sensitivity isssues.

thanks

This is so sad that your daughter has to deal with this at such a

young age. I too have a four year old and I know how frustrated

children can get when they're bothered by something and there's nothing

they can do about it. The ONLY nice thing about this disorder (or

whatever it's labeled as) is that when you're a child you can scream,

cry, bite, hit, run and express your emotions exactly as you are

feeling them. When we become adults we have to learn to control it so

we can function in public even though the intensity is the same and we

still want to scream, yell, hit, cry etc... I miss the kind of freedom

I had as a child to release my emotions!!! I really wish that there was

a group like this when I was a kid so that my family could have better

understood what I was going through. They always thought that I was

controlling and neurotic. I got yelled at and laughed at a lot. It's

wonderful that you're trying to help her as opposed to punishing and

ridiculing her like I'm sure the majority of us have experienced

growing up. To date, there is nothing that really fixes the problem

although I've read on here that earplugs and various noise therapy has

helped some people and It seems alot of people are asking teachers for

special help at school as far as seating arrangements (away from

irritating noises or people)and things that lessen the chances of

irritation. Good luck!

My daughter is getting frustrated a lot. Unfortunately there is a kid in class who just lost his mother to a car accident and he is very agitated crying all the time, which is effecting my child. it is a sad sad situation for both kids.

Luckily we have a very understanding teacher who is trying to use some headphones on her right now just to take the edge out. we will see what happens.

thank you

The stories involving children is really getting to me. I want to write up

something for the public, TV, radio and such. Maybe taking surveys to find

out who is affected by this. SO many people do not know it is not only them

and the kids have longer to suffer the longer we do not make this public.

(US TOO!)

I did a survey on my own email address book and found 2 people with this

SSS. If we can make this worldwide let's say on the news shows maybe that

can help start this thing going...
