Editorial Review:

Product Description:


In a book likely to transform how parents manage many of their child's daily struggles, Drs. Smith and Gouze explain the central and frequently unrecognized role that sensory processing problems play in a child's emotional and behavioral difficulties. Practicing child psychologists, and themselves parents of children with sensory integration problems, their message is innovative, practical, and, above all, full of hope.



A child with sensory processing problems overreacts or underreacts to sensory experiences most of us take in stride. A busy classroom, new clothes, food smells, sports activities, even hugs can send such a child spinning out of control. The result can be heartbreaking: battles over dressing, bathing, schoolwork, social functions, holidays, and countless other events. In addition, the authors say, many childhood psychiatric disorders may have an unidentified sensory component.



Readers Will Learn:

• The latest scientific knowledge about sensory integration
• How to recognize sensory processing problems in children and evaluate the options for treatment
• How to prevent conflicts by viewing the child's world through a "sensory lens"
• Strategies for handling sensory integration challenges at home, at school, and in twenty-first century kid culture

The result: a happier childhood, a more harmonious family, and a more cooperative classroom. This thoroughly researched, useful, and compassionate guide will help families start on a new path of empowerment and success.






Rating: - Agree with most
I have to agree with most here in saying that this book was helpful on some things but too extreme on others. You really have to know your child. Worth the read but would have just as well borrowed it from the library than purchase it ... does not constitute as a book that I often look upon for reference.

Rating: - the best
This is the best book I've read about Sensory Issues. It helps you get inside the experience of a child with these issues. It helps elicit a compassionate, understanding response to these children who can be hard to live with. It is helpful and obviously written by mothers who have lived it.

Rating: - The Sensory-Sensitive child
This book is a very good resource for parents of SPD(Sensory Processing Disorder) children. I especially like the way they describe SPD; I know now how to describe it to other people. This book describes behavioral problems that SPD kids can have and how to help them cope with it. It is very good information. It is a must have book to go along with "The Out of Synch Child"

Rating: - The Sensory-Sensitive Child
It is very informative. It explains what is going on through the childs eyes as well as the frustrations that we as parents are going through with such a situation. It has made me better aware of the symtoms and how to deal with them. It also lets me know that my son is not alone in his struggles and it has been identified as a "real" issue, not just what a lot of people like to say is just an excuse as to why your child is misbehaving. I appreciated the input and am making a doctor's appointment ... Read More
