Parenting a highly sensitive child is a bit like walking a tightrope while carrying your heart outside your body. Their emotions are big, fast, and deeply felt. You might notice they react more intensely to everyday situations, need more time to recover from upsets, or are overwhelmed by sensory input or changes in routine.

Have you ever watched your child freeze before school with a tummy ache, only to realize later it was worry, not illness? Or maybe they burst into tears and say, “I don’t know why—I just feel weird.”
