The Gift Of Hypersensitive Children
We often talk about hypersensitive people (PHS), who represent a large part of the population.
These people experience reality more intensely, and with emotional closeness to their external environment, so much so that they sometimes prefer to be alone and do their introspection.
And the children in all this? How does the childhood of a hypersensitive person unfold?
In some children aged 6 or 7, we may notice an unusual empathy for their age. They are able to see details that escape ordinary people. How is it possible ?
These still very young people go beyond the universe of emotionality and intuition, and we do not always know how to treat or approach them. Then it would be time to admit it… these children have a special gift.
What are the characteristics of the hypersensitive child?
The life of a hypersensitive child is not easy. His integration into the school environment is often complicated because of this sensitivity that his classmates and teachers immediately notice.
He does not like surprises or change, he prefers calm to restlessness. His level of maturity is sometimes so different from that of other children that he will always have difficulty integrating.
He is thoughtful and intuitive and will notice aspects of his reality that few people around will be able to see: the shape of a tree shading the middle school yard, a bird flying all alone in the sky, or even the expression of the master who gave him music lessons this morning.
Teachers claim that this hypersensitivity can be identified early enough and thus help the child to integrate properly.
However, sometimes many teachers are tired of these children who continually bombard them with complex questions and thoughts that they do not always have time to answer.
As a result, these children come into their teens with a negative image of themselves, knowing that they have a gift that no one has ever appreciated or valued.
You have to get to know and appreciate them, and let them develop their abilities and worries, so that they first get to know each other and understand what is happening to them and how they can deal with this sensitivity on their own. interest and that of others.
You have to give them goals and objectives, answer their questions and reasoning, give them answers and understand them.
Special children, but who remain children
Very often, the emotional maturity of these children means that the parents do not know how to treat them.
Their physical sensitivity also attracts attention. They feel pain more quickly, and sometimes certain clothes bother them, such as having a small stain on their waistcoat.
They are insistent in their thinking and parents sometimes feel overwhelmed. But the opposite can also happen. Because of this emotional maturity, parents rely a little on them, involving them in the chores of the house.
This sometimes represents a risk, because we must not forget that they are children and that we must not add more concerns to those they already feel and sense in silence.
They are not children with hearts and brains of old people, they are children with special needs that we must understand to help them in their growth, and so that, day after day, they find their place and their happiness. .
Hypersensitivity is a gift you have to learn to live with. It is true that it is not always easy, but existence brings to the eyes of these people a dimension that few are able to see.
