Highly Sensitive Children

Highly sensitive children, just like adults, absorb a lot of what goes around them. They are intuitive and sensitive to others’ needs. They are also aware of the feelings and stresses of others, both at home and in school.
From the processing of all this information your child is susceptible to emotional overload meltdowns, shutting down, and anxiety. This can make caretaking or parenting a highly sensitive child difficult as it can trigger your already sensitive system.
The good news is you and your child’ s amazing super powers can be nurtured and taken care of on a regular basis with little effort or time.
