Tuned In : A guide for parents of sensitive children
Your four-year-old melts down over a "wrong" sock. Your seven-year-old can't sleep because they're worried about a butterfly with a torn wing. Your toddler covers their ears every time you run the blender.
You're witnessing a highly sensitive nervous system in action.
Licensed clinical social worker and founder of Rooted Rhythm, Sophie Schauermann draws on over a decade of clinical experience to show why traditional parenting strategies often backfire with sensitive children.
About 15-20% of children are born highly sensitive, processing sensory and emotional information more deeply than their peers. These children notice subtleties others miss, feel emotions intensely, and need different support to thrive. Most parenting advice treats sensitivity as something to overcome. This approach misses the remarkable gifts these children bring.
