Is your child highly sensitive? Are you?
Were you a HIGHLY SENSITIVE child? ME TOO!!
Is your child HIGHLY SENSITIVE? MINE TOO!!
Those of us who are highly sensitive are often UBER PERCEPTIVE; we may be easily overwhelmed by newness/loudness/crowds/etc; we may feel our feelings very very deeply, including perceived criticisms or rejection; we may be ultra-passionate when we care, which we often do, deeply.
It’s rare for highly sensitive kids (OR ADULTS) to perceive this high sensitivity as empowering.
Mostly we feel the message—“Stop being so sensitive!” “Get over it!” “The other kids are doing XYZ—what’s the big deal?!”
Most of us grow up believing sensitivity equals weakness.
It doesn’t have to be this way!
You can help your child see their sensitivity as their SUPERPOWER! You can see your sensitivity the same way.
Yup.
We sense things other people may not. We feel things other people may not. We can be passionate about things other people may not.
This is a SUPERPOWER.
The world needs our gifts! Your child isn’t weak. Your child has a SUPERPOWER.
How would that empower your child (and you!) to really believe that?
