It is estimated that between 15-20% of the population are what we call "highly sensitive people" (HSPs).
Of those HSPs, it's thought that around 20% are children. So if you have a child who seems more sensitive than others, know that you are not alone.
There are many ways to be a parent to your highly sensitive child.
Here are some tips:
1. Validate their feelings.
2. Help them find healthy outlets for their emotions.
3. Be patient with them.
4. Teach them about self-care.
5. Seek professional help if needed.
