Currently going through a bad period of noise sensitivity and sensory overload - always seems to happen this time of year.
went back to nursery last week after Christmas break - she would be fine until we got to the door when she would have a big cry. Nursery said she was happy during the day although was seeking out more quiet activities and refusing to eat.
two days in a row now I’ve been unable to even get her out the door. We are talking horrendous screaming, crying, distress, begging to stay indoors.
she has the same routine but as soon as it’s time for shoes and coat she melts down.
i tried for an hour this morning calmly waiting for her to calm down to get her to leave.
in the end I tried to pick her up and just carry her but when she hits a certain level of distress she will just vomits everywhere
I literally have no idea how to handle this. Shes happy to talk about nursery, we look at pictures and videos of her there which she enjoys.
I don’t know if I’m projecting but it feels like it’s her way of saying she currently cannot cope with the noises there (she has speech delay).
what the fuck do I do? I can’t not work. I’m terrified to text my boss and tell them I can’t come in because I can’t get my 3 year old h to nursery.
