How to discipline a super sensitive toddler?

[mailpal]

Any slight raised tone of voice and he freezes/cries?

Really upsetting.. I've had to tell my husband to not tell him off..

Sometimes he gets really out of hand/tantrum how do we manage this with sensitivity?

Thanks

@mailpal this book may help from someone who's an expert on high sensitivity: www.amazon.co.uk/Highly-Sensitive-Child-children-overwhelms-ebook/dp/B008CBDOQG?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

It's possible he's not highly sensitive but some other trauma has caused him to react this way e.g. loud or angry telling off by a caregiver e.g. childminder/nursery/babysitter that you're unaware has happened

@SarahDarah I hadn't thought of that..? In terms of trauma..?

Why have you clung on the suggestion of trauma now

@SlyAvocado not something I even considered- wouldn't say clung on..?
