Some children experience sound, light, texture and crowds far more intensely than others — that is information, not a problem. These adventures name sensations kindly and rehearse simple strategies like stepping outside, covering ears, or finding a quiet corner. Follow your child's lead on which strategies feel good.
These are stories, not therapy. If you ever have a worry about your child’s wellbeing, your health visitor, GP or school are the right next step.
