Nu er Elias blevet 6 måneder! Nu ruller han rundt på gulvet, og man kan øve at han sidder. Han giver så mange smil og klukkende grin, ser så sød ud når man kommer op i seng og han ligger der og sove så stille :-)) han er supermand, stærk og charmerende!!
Hvem er "High in Need"?
"High Need Babies" / sensitive børn synes at kræve nogle særlige ting for at være i trivsel. Det kan være:
. Ekstra stort behov for kropskontakt / vil konstant være "på arm" og protesterer måske mod at ligge i barnevogn.
. Vanskeligheder ved at falde i søvn
. Vanskeligheder ved at sove godt om natten
. Generelt mindre søvnbehov end andre børn
. Stort behov for at være i bevægelse mere eller mindre konstant
. Lettere til gråd og/eller irritabilitet
. Lettere at overstimulere (får for mange indtryk, har svært ved at bearbejde dem)
. Lettere at understimulere (barnet bliver hurtigt klynkende, hvis der ikke sker nok)
. Mindre tolerance overfor forandringer og nye omgivelser
. Mindre villighed til at være sammen med fremmede
. Øget tryghedsbehov, behov for at sove sammen med forældrene dag og nat osv. osv.
12 FEATURES OF A HIGH NEED BABY..."Why is my baby so different? She is not like any of my friends' babies. They sleep through the night. They're happy being held by anyone.

After Hayden introduced us to high-need babies, we learned a whole new way to parent. The babies that followed her each had their own particular high needs. We were able to recognize and respond to them because of our experience with her. None of them were as thoroughly "high need" as Hayden, but they came close. In retrospect, we realized that the babies who came before Hayden had high needs, too, in some areas.
