Re: sensitivity to noise

Author: Anon  Date:   05-11-11 11:28 As a teacher I have been searching for answers also. Here's what I have discovered. * In each case that I have dealt with the children have been gifted. * They have all been boys. * Two came from the same family. * One could not pretend. Everything was factual. * One was uncoordinated and walked without moving his arms. * Whenever the class was noisy or we played loud music they sobbed. * Sudden noise caused was worst. What worked best. 1) Anticipate loud noise if you can (eg. drums in music) and prepare the child. I would say now get ready here comes the loud part. * would cover his ears. 2) I use controlled breathing. I have had 100% success with this. When sobbing, hold them by putting one arm around their back/shoulder and the other on just below their neck on their chest. Say now I want you to hold your breath and I will count to see how many seconds you can hold it. Tell them to push their tummy out when they breath in. Holding their breath helps stops the quick breathing and slows the heart rate (like in relaxation). It also gives them things to focus on which is really important. They like the challenge of beating their last score. I have also used this method with children who suffer from anxiety or who have concerns when exercising. What DOESN'T work. Saying.. stop that, get control of yourself or ignoring it. Hope this helps.
