Drew still wears headphones to concerts, fireworks and any other “loud” activities. He says it just hurts his ears. Simple…

In my opinion, many of us in America do this way too much.
If the effort to diagnose and medicate unruly children over the past ten years had been aimed at healthy eating and getting outdoors to play, I think we would be way better off.

Hurray for you and for your sister-in-law.

Here hoping things get a little easier for you and for Simon.

I bet by the time he’s five or six he’s totally ignoring the buses and planes and whatnot. Also, maybe he has sensitive hearing? If he has particularly acute hearing it may be that loud noises are painful; that would cause a bunch of low-level anxiety when loud noises are heard.
