What is sensitivity and how does it manifest in certain children? Understanding and recognizing sensitivity is key when parenting or working with a sensitive child. If misunderstood, these children are at risk for behavioral problems and failure to mature. Through years of study and personal experience, Patti Drobot will help make sense of the sensitive child. She will discuss the challenges that often come with these children and discuss what the adult’s role is in helping sensitive children to mature and reach their full potential. In this session, she will cover:
- Signs of sensitivity.
- Why sensitive children can be challenging to raise.
- Reasons for behavioral issues that can arise.
- Key recommendations for parents and educators of sensitive children including discipline.
Living Inquiries:
- Well-being and belonging.
- Engagement with others, materials, and the world
Pathways:
- Joy in relationships with people, place, materials and ideas.
- Safety and respect.
- Emotions, thoughts, and views.
- Every child is a gift.
