Highly Sensitive Children

Highly Sensitive Children (HSC) are those who process sensory input more deeply and intensely than their peers. This heightened sensitivity may manifest in emotional reactions, sensitivity to noise or crowds, and a strong awareness of environmental details. HSC often feel overwhelmed in overstimulating situations and can be more empathetic and intuitive. Their unique traits may lead to both challenges, such as anxiety or discomfort in busy environments, and strengths, such as creativity and deeper connections with others. Understanding and supporting their needs can help HSC thrive in various settings.
