My 3 year old nephew is also very sensitive. He doesn't like mess or crumbs, hates loud noise and is very shy and particularly easily overwhelmed in crowds (like if the playground is busy). He's also very on to it though and notices subtle stuff, has a large vocab and can count past 30 already. My sister's doc refered them to the behavioural assessment people at the hospital (partly due to his "quirks" and partly coz he can be very violent and disruptive at times). According to the assessment most of the strange behaviour is just normal 3 year old stuff (and the violence was him being frustrated at being picked on at daycare). Hopefully like the others above he'll grow out of it.

for a while i thought toby was a sensitive child... he hated if his socks were on crooked and would get really upset, didnt like it when he spilt food on himself, wasnt keen on loud noises etc... but like sienna he seems to be outgrowing a lot of those things. but is still quite picky and gets upset easily.]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:26:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=788780&title=sensitive-children#788780 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=788696&title=sensitive-children#788696 Author: Kelpa

Kelpa - I have a book called "The Highly Sensitive Child". I'm happy to post it to you if you like. Sounds like your boy is very sensitive and this book explains some of what that might mean & how to support him.]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2009 20:59:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=784398&title=sensitive-children#784398 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=784181&title=sensitive-children#784181 Author: Maya

Yep, my Sienna is a bit "special" - altho does seem to be getting more tolerant/adventurous as she gets older. When she was younger, she would lock herself down the back of the house so she couldn't hear the roadwork noises from about 3 miles up the road, she'd flip out at the mall if she saw the cleaners trolley, and she still is absolutely terrified of gloves.

I also have an article I could scan and email you. It was in little treasures.

He does sound like a sensitive child.
I was a very sensitive child. My clothes had to sit absolutely straight, and if things would shift my mum would have to adjust it. Couldn't stand a lot of things apparently.

Have grown out of most of the quirks though :)]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:27:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=784037&title=sensitive-children#784037 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=783927&title=sensitive-children#783927 Author: jaycee

Hi Kelpa - there was an article in Littlies in Nov 08 about Sensitive Kids. If you would like me to photocopy it and send it to you, pm me your address. ]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:18:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=783927&title=sensitive-children#783927 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=783847&title=sensitive-children#783847 Author: MissCandice

Kylah is a very sensitive girl.
She doesnt hate loud nois, but she doesnt like it either. She gets frightened easy, and is very shy.
She hates bright lights, like camera flashes etc.

Most of all, shes very very shy! DOesnt like males looking at her that she doesnt know, especially at home. Shes good sometimes, like will say hi to people. But mostly not.]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:20:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=783847&title=sensitive-children#783847 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=783658&title=sensitive-children#783658 Author: GuestGuest

Hi, my niece was sensitive to light and loud noises between the ages of 2 and 4. She always had her hands over her ears in loud situations eg at the aiport or during a parade and never wanted music on very loud. She is 5 now and seems to have grown out of it. There is information on this type of huper-sensitivity on the net and it seems failry common in young children. Sorry I can't help with the other issues but I'm not sure if they would be connected. ]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:33:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=783658&title=sensitive-children#783658 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=783400&title=sensitive-children#783400 Author: james

Hi there

I am just wanting to know if anyone else a child like this.... Blake is 3 and is highly sensitive. He does not like loud noises and will sit in a music group with his ears covered if he knows a loud song is coming up. He complains if the lights are too bright. He is very onto any different tone in any adults voice and notices straight away if I am quiet or sad. He has severe problems with many foods in that he flares up with eczema all over his body and has upset tums frequently and has an absolute aversion to anything Green. He is a very quick thinker and is really onto it with using big words and counting. He has an amazing happy little demeanour but can just as easily look like the Devil.

Is this odd or is this just a 3 year old?]]> Tue, 22 Sep 2009 21:42:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28909&PID=783333&title=sensitive-children#783333
