In my home, growing up we knew we could NOT be loud. No screaming, no yelling, and NO talking at ALL when dad had the TV on. If we talked, he would turn the TV up so loud to drown us out so he could hear what he was listening to.

 

For so long I wondered if all dads had such sensitive ears, why dad got so mad if we were loud, and if that would ever change. Little did I know that it was very normal, and now as a mom I get it, because I have a child who has the same sensory sensitivity. 

 

So many of you parents are wondering the same thing, either about yourself or your child.

• Why can't I hear people when I'm in a restaurant?
• Why is my kid so loud, but freaks out when people around her are loud?
• Why does my son have such a strong reaction when his siblings are loud?
• Is it normal?
• Should I punish it?
• What should I do?

We're going to cover all of that in this episode.
