Hypersensitive child: our 10 tips to help you!
1 / Give him affection ! Often a too sensitive child is afraid of not being loved by his parents, to be abandoned. Maybe your child is trying to catch your attention unconsciously? He therefore needs more than other children to be secure and loved!
2 / Respect the fear of the child!Reassure him briefly with calm. You must respect your feelings by avoiding over-comforting or over-protecting yourself, as this may give you the message that you are right to be afraid. Encourage the child to take risks. Praise him if he does it. Also try to never show your own fears to your child.
3 / Dedramate! Imagine that your child is traumatized because his mistress has scolded him. Ask him what exactly happened, what he felt. Make him understand, for example, that it is not because we scold him that we do not love him anymore!
4 / Have him do theater! Many hypersensitive children feel better after the theater because on a stage, they can express emotions, get into the skin of other characters. The theater will also allow them to facilitate their exchanges with others!
