Hi, my daughter is 3.5years - she is highly sensitive in that she hurts easily, is sensitive to loud noise, smells, super sensitive to being told off, generally she is a delicate flower!
She goes to pre school and likes it, she's not shy, however.....
On play dates she often spends a lot of time coming to me telling tales on the other children. She will often say they have hurt her when they've done the slightest thing as she is very sensitive to touch/pain. It's more a problem with the boys we know rather than the girls, as the boys tend to naturally play more boisterously I guess. I am struggling with how to deal with it because I don't want to make a big fuss over her and it's not fair for the other children to be told off if they've not really done anything wrong. Any ideas?
