The aim of this book is to reflect on the importance of sensitive listening on the part of the Early Childhood Education teacher for the integral development of the child in meeting all their physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs, always aiming for affectivity, through play and the values inculcated in early childhood. We sought to understand how this sensitive listening happens and how it can be developed from the point of view of the authors Wallon, Piaget and Vygotsky, making an analogy with the sensitivity of the dormouse plant and how children react to the teacher's touch. Through experiences in the classroom, I try to describe how to develop sensitive listening, which will be an ongoing challenge.
