I cannot just wing it, and I am not sensitive enough to my child (or so I harshly judge myself), hence I read all the help I can get from books or the internet.

As a non HSP parenting a HSC, highly sensitive child, it was really nerve wrecking. I wish I was a HSC! I cannot just wing it, and I am not sensitive enough to my child (or so I harshly judge myself), hence I read all the help I can get from books or the internet. I approached parenting like science or like pursuing a degree! In some cases it worked, some cases a little (like sleep!!), and a lot of cases it doesn't. But thanks for sharing about being more relax and generally don't try to do everything, I think I should really take a step back and prioritize just "being" with my children more. Maybe then I can sense them more, even if I am not a HSP. Parenting is generally quite fun but the evenings and mornings are so challenging! I am also reading now a book on HSC to understand my son more, so yeah, I'm still unsure if my academic approach to parenting is all good but at least it's assuring me I am trying my best! :)
