Children | Highly Sensitive & HB
About 20% of people are highly sensitive. Highly sensitive individuals have a more intense and deeper processing of their experiences. They hear, feel and perceive more than average. As a result, they are also more frequently and intensely confronted with emotions – their own and others’. With that, there is also a greater chance that an unpleasant situation will not be adequately processed, and will become fixed as a pattern.
Gifted children with intense emotions
Gifted (HB) children also process their experiences differently than average. As a result, they often need some extra social emotional support. This is usually about things like: how do I process all the stimuli every day, I don’t do well, other kids don’t understand me very well, I’m afraid of making mistakes at school or not being able to get to sleep well.
My experience with HB children
I myself am a mother of three so called. ‘exceptionally gifted’ children (UHB). Daily they teach me how best to deal with the beautiful and difficult things of intense emotions, processed or not. Themes such as underachievement, fear of failure, perfectionism, self-efficacy, perseverance, setting limits and great responsibility are familiar issues in our home.

If you want to learn more about high sensitivity, google, for example, the work of Elaine Aron, Elke van Hoof and mirror neurons.

My experiences
I myself am a mother of three so called. ‘exceptionally gifted’ children (UHB). Daily they teach me how best to deal with the beautiful and difficult things of intense emotions, processed or not. Themes such as underachievement, fear of failure, perfectionism, putting yourself away, perseverance, setting limits and great responsibility are familiar issues in our home. These experiences and knowledge, of course, I make full use of in my practice.
