Your infant is crying and you don’t know why. Your toddler
refuses every kind of food–except one. Your preschooler
wages war with you each morning over what to wear. Every
day, parents struggle unsuccessfully to understand why their
children act the way they do. Now child development expert
Priscilla J. Dunstan breaks down those barriers to
understanding with this revolutionary and accessible guide
that teaches a new way of parenting–custom-designed for each
child’s personality.The product of eight years of
groundbreaking research, this book will help you understand
how your child interacts with the world. Dunstan begins from
the premise that every child has his or her own dominant
sensory “interface” with the world. Some children are highly
sensitive to touch, others to sound or to sight. And some
are unusually sensitive to all outside stimuli, especially
taste and smell. This sensitivity affects how your child
behaves, learns, and communicates from the very first days
of life. Uncovering your child’s dominant sense–and knowing
what your own dominant sense is–is essential for finding
common ground and creating bonds of trust and intimacy with
your child.Use this book to• take comprehensive “sense
tests” to determine your child’s dominant sense–and your
own• understand how sensory overload plays out from infancy
to age five, at home and in school• learn why your child’s
sensory personality shapes the way he or she instinctively
reacts to new experiences and people• appreciate the
richness of your child’s emotional life, and help your child
thrive in the outside worldFor every parent who has ever
looked at a child’s behavior and thought What is he trying
to tell me?, Child Sense shows you how to find the answer.
