Noise - and the growing brain

Observation
October 31,2014
7:00 pm
Age 3.1yrs
I took  Ajani  to his first Halloween  event . We went to one in the afternoon . We marched in a parade then came back to the clinic and children got their basket of goodies  there was no music.We left and headed to our second event .We got there a little early . When we got inside Ajani was fine until a  scary mask showed up. He was scared . I tried to assure him that he would be fine. He decided that sitting on the floor behind the chair would  be better for him. At first I tried to have him get back on the chair then I thought ,he is not screaming anymore so why stress him. He was fine until the music came on . It was very loud he began to scream too loud ,too loud . He then put his pointers in his ears. He did that until the live performances  began . He got off the floor and kneed looking at the stage between two chairs. He was fine and then we left. He got a toy and a candy bag.
Ajani's  got the invitation from his friend  to attend.

Experience is the key ingredient when building a brain. You also have to be in tune with your young  child . That was  his experience with loud music before so it frightened him. I hope the next time that experience will not be as traumatic . When this happens you have to be supportive and understanding. I could have left but that would not be wise because he will experience loud music again. This is also a part of social skills.
