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!
