Does Your Highly Sensitive Child Have Clear Boundaries?
Highly Sensitive Children are constantly picking up more information about their environment than those who aren’t highly sensitive. They deeply process small details that many people aren’t aware of, such as the various sights, sounds, and textures in a room, or the emotional states of other people. Because of this high sensitivity, it is especially important for highly sensitive children to have tools which support them in feeling strong and centered. Maintaining clear boundaries is a key area of practice to develop this feeling of strength and promote resilience in the face of stress.
