In this book, the author will help you
understand how your child interacts with
the world. She begins with the
basis that every child has their own
dominant sensory interface with the
world. A child may be very
sensitive to touch, sound, sight, and a
few are uncommonly sensitive to all
external stimuli, especially taste and
smell. Using this principal
sensitivity affects how your child will
learn, behave, and communicate from the
day they are born. By knowing what
your particular dominant sense is, and
then determining your child's dominant
sense, you will be able to find a common
ground and create a closer relationship
to become much closer to your child.
You can use this book to take a
comprehensive sensory test to determine
your child's and your own dominant
sense. It will also help you to
understand how sensory overload affects
them from infancy to age five.
Learn how and why your child's sensory
personality will shape the way they
instinctively react to new experiences
and help your child thrive in the
outside world!

Trudy Ludwig delivers a
story about real kids and real
situations occurring everyday. In
this book, Charlie, Jack's friend, has
learned that one magic word can get him
out of almost any jam. If you get
caught, just say you're sorry.
Even though it makes Jack feel bad,
Charlie's flip and insincere apologies
get by most people until Charlie ruins a
classmate's science fair project and
Jack stands by to watch. Jack and
Charlie learn their lesson when a
teacher makes them prove their apology
by actually doing something. The
book is great for motivating children to
think the sincerity of their words when
making apologies or in their
interactions with friends; but it also
encourages adults to keep kids
accountable for the authenticity of
their words.

not for biting, because biting hurts.

reasons why children might want to bite
and helps to prevent biting by teaching
