My 2 year old (just turned 2) is very sensitive to noises.
She has not been formally ID'd as gifted but has a HG older sibling and is already speaking in full grammatically correct sentences so our working assumption is that she will fall somewhere on the gifted scale.
Noises (like a chainsaw - even far away) seem to make her anxious ("I don't like that noise" she will say and shrink back). For now all I can think to do is to agree with her that the noise is unpleasant. And then talk a little about where the noise is coming from and why. I want to try to help validate and discuss her emotions I guess and not bottle things up inside.
Anxiety runs in the family - I want to try to help her now as much as possible. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.
