Many children are about to enter kindergarten, only to find a variety of problems, obviously there is a gap with other children, which makes many parents heartbreak.

According to the survey, the incidence of "sensory integration disorders" in urban children has been rising, and it has almost become a patent for "urban children". The terrible thing is that the best correction period for this symptom is before the age of 6, if the "sensory integration disorder" is not corrected in time, it will not only affect the child's current learning and life, until the child is 12 years old, and the problems found now are likely to accompany the child for a lifetime.
What's even more frightening is that many parents have never heard of "sensory integration disorder" and have no concept of related symptoms. In the end, because of the ignorance of parents, the child's life is delayed.
So, what exactly is a "sensory integration disorder"?
Previously, the CCTV news channel made a special report on the sensory imbalance.
Before many parents in Beijing took their children to the hospital to check the child's sensory system disorder, after the reporter interview found that many children are due to lack of concentration, the teacher's feedback may be a problem with the ability to feel the integration.
CCTV news channel official certification: children have inattention, small movements, reading difficulties, poor memory, emotional instability and other conditions, to be vigilant that children have sensory disorders, the need for targeted training. ▲
1. What is sensory integration?
Sensory integration is the process of integrating the information received by the sensory organs (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, vestibular, proprioception) through the brain, and then dominating the body to make precise responses.
Simply put, the brain receives information and processes the information in response.
Below, for example, the "sensory integration" is explained by the fact that a child cuts an apple.
The teacher asks the child to cut the apple, the child receives this instruction (hearing), when cutting the apple, touch (tactile) the smooth skin of the apple, the eyes (vision) tell the child its color, shape;
After cutting the apple, the nose (sense of smell) will smell the unique aroma of the apple;
The apple bites and tastes (taste) the taste is sweet;
If the apple is large and heavy enough, the child's body tilts to maintain balance while picking up the apple, which is the sense of balance (vestibular perception);
Finally, the child's hands can smoothly hand over the apple from the back back is the proprioception.
Man's various sensory systems do not function alone, but must be integrated in order to enable a complete understanding of the outside world.
2. How is sensory integration disorder caused
According to experts, children born by caesarean section will be more likely to have "sensory system disorders", because children born by caesarean section lack of birth canal squeeze, and are prone to problems such as hyperactivity, naughtiness, and attention deficit.
At the same time, it causes sensory integration disorders in many ways.
01 Lack of training
In the process of children's brain development, children's abilities need to be obtained by stimulating the brain through various exercises. In the period when children need to be stimulated by the feelings the most, so that various feelings cooperate and coordinate with each other, the lack of appropriate training is easy to cause sensory system disorders.
For example, for a 10-month-old child, it is necessary to exercise concentration by crawling and train the strength of the neck and leg muscles. If the child is not trained accordingly at this stage, it is possible to hinder his sensory development.
02 Electronic products play more
Many small children like to watch TV or play games.
When watching TV, the child's brain can not be developed, affecting the child's thinking divergence; in addition, the TV picture switches quickly, staring at the TV for a long time, affecting the child's vision development; a large amount of time is occupied by the TV, affecting the time for children to play, exercise, and explore the world, resulting in children's various sensory stimuli and intensity can not be reached.
All of the above have caused improper connection and coordination between various sensory systems, resulting in the existence of sensory integration disorders.
03 Over-protective, out of touch with nature
Many parents do not understand that the previous children were free-range, there is no problem at all, why are all living conditions improved now, but the children have such and such problems?
In fact, the problem lies in a "stocking" and a "captivity".
Former children often ran in the wild, rolling around the ground without scruples, bouncing around and having fun, without the need for additional training. However, today's children have been "domesticated" into "civilized people" by adults: they must walk carefully, and parents are afraid that their children will fall; they do not dare to let their children crawl on the ground, because they are afraid of soiling their clothes.
It is precisely because of the excessive protection of adults that the lively and active nature of children cannot be exerted, and finally the good children are raised to "peony".
3. The specific manifestations of sensory system disorders
Sensory system disorders can be roughly divided into: vestibular sensory disorders, poor haptic ability, proprioceptive disorders, visual disorders and auditory disorders, which are manifested as all aspects of life.
Manifestations of vestibular balance disorders:
Restless, prone to falls, inattentive, inattentive in class, naughty and willful, picky.
Poor haptic performance:
Tactile sensitivity (excessive defense): Weak adaptability to external stimuli and a sense of security only for inherent experience. Fear of life, timidity, dislike of crowding, rejection of new things, often trapped in loneliness, finger sucking, etc.
Tactile sluggishness (lack of response): slow response, inflexible movements, lack of self-awareness, self-sufficiency, easy to fight, etc.
Manifestations of a weak sense of proprioception:
Lack of self-confidence, passive withdrawal, clumsy hands and feet, slow and procrastinating movements, lack of self-motivation, lack of self-confidence, walking and hitting tables and chairs, poor organization, poor language performance ability.
Manifestations of visual disorders:
It is easy to write 6 and 9, b and d, q and p, difficult to read, lose words and miss words, recognize words but cannot understand, write difficulties, or read a stroke, often copy the wrong question and write the wrong number, do not like to clean up the house, the table is always messy.
Manifestations of auditory disorders:
Often there is no response to loud sounds, or small sounds can attract attention, often hear things, can not remember what the teacher said, etc.
4. Seize the golden period of sensory system training
Sensory integration disorders do not disappear naturally with age, and when sensory integration disorders affect children's learning life, the necessary corrections must be given in time.
Prevention period (0-3 years old): The basic stage of children's sensory system training, through which children can be helped through the sensitive periods of this stage.
Golden period (3-6 years old): The golden period of sensory integration training, through targeted training, improve the ability of sensory integration, so that children can coordinate physically and mentally and grow freely.
Compensatory period (6-12 years old): If you miss the golden period of sensory system training, you will need to train harder and longer to improve your child's sensory system disorder.
Children over the age of 12 will have difficulty changing their sensory system. Sensory integration is the foundation of all learning abilities, and if you miss a critical period, it will affect your child's life.
5. Sensory system disorder is worthy of every parent's attention.
Through these descriptions, parents can also find that sensory integration is the basis of all learning abilities, and timely discovery of problems in children and corrections are the best love for children!
