🌿 A highly sensitive child is deeply tuned in — to their environment, to other people’s emotions, and to the subtle details many of us overlook. About 1 in 5 children are wired this way.
💛 They experience the world intensely. Joy feels big. Sadness feels deep. Empathy comes naturally. But that same sensitivity can mean loud noises, bright lights, busy classrooms, or abrupt transitions feel overwhelming.
🧠 These children are often thoughtful and reflective. They ask big, meaningful questions. They notice shifts in tone. They engage in rich imaginative play. While criticism, chaos, or overstimulation can hit them harder, they also tend to be incredibly compassionate, perceptive, and conscientious.
🌱 Highly sensitive children don’t need to be “toughened up.” They thrive in environments that are calm, predictable, and emotionally safe — where their sensitivity is understood as a strength, not a flaw.
