Honouring Our Sensitive Children

There are some children who move through the world differently.
And if you’ve found your way here, chances are—you’re raising one.
Or maybe you were one.

This is a love note to the sensitive ones. The deeply feeling ones.
The ones our world so often misunderstands.
Because what looks like “too much” on the outside…
is often a kind of magic we desperately need to remember.

Have you ever noticed them?

The ones who linger at the edges of the crowd…
who take it all in before they step forward, if they do at all.
The ones whose eyes seem to see straight through things,
who feel the world in a way that’s hard to explain.

They might be called shy. Timid. Too sensitive.
But I see something else.

I see children who are deeply attuned to the heartbeat of the earth.
Children who feel the emotions in a room before a single word is spoken.
Children who carry a quiet kind of magic...one our fast-paced world often overlooks.

They notice. They know.
And though the world may sometimes feel too loud or too much for them,
it’s their very sensitivity that holds the medicine we need most.

I believe these children are the future healers of our world.
Not necessarily doctors or therapists (though they might be),
but healers in the truest sense, souls who restore the lost threads of connection.
To each other. To the earth. To the unseen. To the forgotten knowing within us all.

So let’s honour their light.
Let’s respect their way of moving through the world.
Let’s remind them again and again:
You are not too much.
You are exactly what this world needs.

Much love
