Highly Sensitive Child

A highly sensitive child naturally experiences sensory input, emotions, and environmental cues more intensely than others. This heightened sensitivity means they may notice details others overlook, react more strongly to loud noises or bright lights, and experience emotions deeply. It’s a normal personality trait linked to a finely tuned nervous system, not a disorder. Such children often need gentle reassurance, predictable routines, and environments that minimize overwhelming stimuli. Understanding and supporting their sensitivities helps them flourish emotionally and socially, fostering confidence and resilience.
