I never thought I would post this. I always scoffed at people who said it. But I have a sensitive child.
Dd2 is now 3 and reacts very strongly to all sorts of things. In response to a trivial injury - like a trapped finger, bumped head- she suffers anoxic seizures. Bad smells make her retch, loud noises upset her. Tonight her sister (5) had a tantrum after dinner and DD2 started retching with the stress of it all. She works herself up into hysteria at the smallest thing - her sister running ahead of her, her buttons not done up correctly, her trains in the wrong order, messy hands- and it takes ages to calm her down again. She loves nursery but does everything with such intensity and is shattered afterwards. She fell asleep as soon as she got home today. She is incredibly picky with food, will retch at unusal tastes and textures, abd was a nightmare to wean, although I've managed to get her to eat a reasonable diet now.
She is so unlike my other two. I worry about her more than the other two put together.
Sorry just venting, but does anyone else have experience of this?
