Startles easily – for example, jumps if there is a sudden noise

Why It Happens: 
A frightening experience can trigger an exaggerated physical startle response that takes some time to go away.
Is This a Problem?: 
Is your child feeling so jumpy that it’s really hard to relax? Is it affecting his/ her sleep or ability to concentrate?
