Descrição

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.

Sobre o Livro

Sensibilidade sensorial é apresentada como fator central nas dificuldades emocionais e comportamentais de crianças, com exemplos concretos como salas de aula barulhentas, roupas novas e odores de comida. Os autores explicam como reações exageradas ou insuficientes a estímulos cotidianos afetam tarefas diárias como vestir-se, alimentar-se e participar de atividades escolares.

Os autores, psicólogos infantis e pais de crianças com dificuldade de integração sensorial, descrevem conhecimento científico atual sobre processamento sensorial e opções de tratamento. Há orientação prática para reconhecer sinais e avaliar alternativas terapêuticas sem prescrever soluções únicas.

Leitores encontram estratégias aplicáveis em casa, na escola e em contextos sociais modernos para reduzir conflitos e melhorar cooperação. O foco é oferecer ferramentas concretas para promover bem-estar infantil, adaptação familiar e manejo cotidiano.
