National Hypersensitivity Day: How do I know if my child is hypersensitive?

National Hypersensitivity Day is an opportunity to raise parents' awareness of the reality of hypersensitive children. If you're wondering if your child is hypersensitive, here are some signs to look out for:

• 1. Intense reactions: Hypersensitive children react intensely to sensory stimuli, such as loud noises, bright lights, or strong smells.
• 2. Increased Empathy: Highly sensitive children often have a high capacity for empathy and can feel the emotions of others more intensely.
• 3. Emotional sensitivity: Highly sensitive children may be easily overwhelmed by their emotions and may cry or become angry more easily.
• 4. Preference for solitude: Highly sensitive children may sometimes prefer spending time alone because it allows them to recharge their batteries and protect themselves from outside stimuli.

If you think your child is hypersensitive, it is important to talk to a healthcare professional or psychologist who specializes in child development. They will be able to help you better understand your child's needs and give you advice on how to support them.
