[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he in any sports? Mine was highly sensitive at 2-7 and putting him in soccer and flag football in K and 1st grade helped him relate more to other kids and to be able to get over small things. He can also deal better with noisy places, crazy places like arcades, and stand up for himself. [/quote]

I don't disagree with you, but do find it interesting that you advocate masculine sports as a "fix" to a sensitive kid. I'm glad it seemed to be a fit for your son. I am the poster who said I don't think it's all that uncommon to have sensitive boys. But I also think it's really common to try to change them, so those who don't or can't change might stand out more.[/quote]

Not as a fix, but to be able to get along better in the world. I am a highly sensitive person myself and never did any team sports or activities. I am content but also often wonder how life would be different if I had had to “join in.” I am very sensitive and continue to engage in my own solo hobbies and also married an introvert with OCD.
