"Becca doesn't have a problem! She is just the best feeler in the family".<br /><br />Being such sensitive "feelers" requires kids, and adults too, to develop coping skills with over stimulation, and as we talked so many times Kari, most the time, they find themselves their own soothing techniques. All we have to do is guide them if they need it too, but mostly position ourself in their situation and look at the world through their eyes. We will then see a world so rich in stimulation and understand their need for quiet and peaceful time, without any request from us, just allowing them to recenter themselves.<br /><br />-IsabelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
