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.

In today’s fast-moving, always-on world, raising a highly sensitive child can feel like an uphill battle. Bright lights, loud noises, packed schedules, and social expectations can quickly become overwhelming for kids who deeply feel and process everything around them.
