Is your child or teen easily overwhelmed by sensory input, like loud noises, bright lights, and strong smells?

Are they highly sensitive to criticism and judgment?

Does your child notice things that others often miss?

Do they feel things deeply or ask thought-provoking questions?

The trait of sensitivity is found in 15% to 20% of the population and is neither a disorder nor a weakness.

In fact, when sensitive children are nurtured and supported to embrace their temperament, they often become outstanding leaders, counselors, and innovators.

Implementing strategies to support our sensitive children can make a huge difference in their life -- and yours.

In this special class, 20 Questions: Sensitive Kids, family therapist Susan Stiffelman answers pressing questions about sensitive, deeply feeling children and teens.

Each question is time-stamped, so when you watch the replay, you can skip to the questions most helpful to your family!
