Anyones child scare of the "quiet" ?

[EmmaB]

Dd (age 6) is scared of the "quiet", she does not seem to be able to hand being in a room without some sort of noise in the background.

 

Last night dh put her to bed and asked if she wanted her music on and she said no. 5 minutes later I had a totally distraught child hiding under the bed covers sobbing her heart out as she was scared of the "quiet".

 

Dd also will not go upstairs/downstairs on her own, or even get out of bed in the mornings without one of us going to get her. I think this is also "linked" to the quiet problems.

 

Anyone else got a child like this?

Yeah, but that's a daughter with ADHD.

Maybe in your case it's because of small background noises that she hears because of her sensory issues, and she wants the 'controlled' noise to be able to ignore it. Have you checked the hearing?
