Barnes, Tia Navelene; Wang, Feihong; O'Brien, Kristen Merrill – Infant and Child Development, 2018

Sensory processing disorder occurs when one's body is unable to deal successfully with the information that it receives through its senses. The manifestation of this inability can appear in many ways, but, in order for the disorder label to apply, it must occur with frequency, intensity, and/or duration. Such dysfunction generally appears through…

Gartrell, Dan – Young Children, 2012
In a "Young Children" article worth revisiting, Wien (2004) makes the case that rules tend not to be helpful in early childhood communities. Rules are usually stated as negatives.
