Introduction

Highly sensitive children often notice small details, think deeply, and feel emotions very strongly.

The concept of high sensitivity was first researched by psychologist Dr. Elaine Aron, who introduced the idea of the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).
Because of this, everyday life can sometimes be exhausting for them — and for their parents too.

On this blog, I share reflections and insights from parenting a highly sensitive child with developmental differences.
My hope is that these words will help you feel understood and less alone.
