Elain Aron, Ph. She herself was often misunderstood and even shamed for being too sensitive. Homeschooling can offer a highly sensitive child the environment they need to thrive. While a child who is highly sensitive may respond differently to situations and stimuli than their siblings or peers, they should be assured their responses are not wrong. They are born with a nervous system that is highly aware.
They tend to be conscientious, in tune with their senses, and have a rich inner life. Loud noises, smells, textures, tastes, or change can be a true challenge for your HSC child. They may need time in a quiet room, or to be able to listen to music or audiobooks while they work on math.
Skipping loud activities or ones that require uncomfortable clothing is okay and sometimes necessary. My child loves her biweekly wilderness class but struggles to wear the layers necessary to participate in winter. Going there in the winter is painful for her. We find other ways for her to experience nature.
And we make sure on the warmer winter days, she gets plenty of time outside. My role is to remind her she can do hard things. And I strive to be supportive when she needs a break or to try again another time. I recently watched her determination pay off. Every year we attend a mother-daughter camp with a huge rock wall. She is very much challenged by the feeling of the harness. Sadly, our trampoline is now out of action, with a massive rip in the matting, which leads me to the number one disadvantage of homeschooling — only one income, so limited funds.
I love the thought of you and your daughter giggling and shrieking as books and calculators flew around the trampoline! I know some parents manage to work while they homeschool and hats off to them, but when we started homeschooling I tried to see clients in the evenings and quickly got wiped out!
Lucinda, thank you so much for sending me the dvd. My postman posted it in the unused post box at the bottom of our garden! You are lovely! Thanks for letting me know it arrived safe, Claire. Like this: Like Loading We will definitely need to clean up as we move from task to task to keep clutter to a minimum. Clutter and too much visual stimulation can be overwhelming. We should probably also get a closet door for our school room. This one is actually a bit of an experiment.
Update: we no longer use a homeschool room and instead have taken a more relaxed approach to our homeschool. If we come across a topic or subject that I notice is a little too intense or scary we will back off and save it for a different time. Depending on the child you may be able to talk them through it or you may have to wait until they are older to study that content.
Often, those feelings become too much to handle, and the individual is negatively affected. These highly sensitive people never cease to feel the energies of the people around them without any choice in the matter. So, if they are surrounded by unavoidable negative energies, they can feel helpless, scared, and confused. Both Empaths and the highly sensitive person are affected in a similar manner.
However, it is especially dangerous for the empath because it can manifest into physical ailments or illnesses if the feelings become too much to handle. K children must attend a school; they have no choice in that matter. However, what if your child could learn in a setting that allows their natural talents to bloom? For empaths or highly sensitive children, the homeschool environment enables them to be comfortable, safe, and learn in a way that is fun for them.
