Children are very sensitive to the tone and atmosphere of their homes. This is especially true for Highly Sensitive Kids. They absorb the feeling of their environments. When conflict occurs on a regular basis (let’s just call this every other week or more; for violent fights, any number is too many), your child’s developing brain and nervous system is inundated with stress hormones.

More on this below 👇 According to renown psychologist, Elaine Aron highly sensitive children (HSCs) are just “built different”. There’s nothing wrong with them, in fact, high sensitivity when managed correctly is a strength, not a weakness. That said, especially as it relates to CERTAIN TRIGGERS (like doing new things) you have to adjust your approach from things that might work with not highly sensitive kids. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think we should be forcing not highly sensitive kids way
