The Tactile System
The tactile system keeps us safe by telling our brain if something is too sharp, too hot, or otherwise dangerous. It is the sense that lets us reach into our pocketful of change and choose a quarter without looking. The tactile system helps us know that the ground is safe for walking and that a duckling is so soft. These experiences are stored in our brain and are part of what help children learn about their world and how to interact with it.
