High sensitivity: Our topic in November
Some people experience the world around them particularly intensely. How highly sensitive children can use this characteristic as a strength. Editor-in-chief Nik Niethammer presents the dossier on high sensitivity and other topics in the November issue, which will be published on Wednesday, 6 November 2024. You can also order the magazine online.
The topic is polarising: «Another one of those fashionable diagnoses», «Stop pathologising children.» And yet it is scientifically proven: High sensitivity exists. It is not a weakness, an illness or a disorder that needs to be treated. High sensitivity is a personality trait, a peculiarity of stimulus processing.
In our cover story, we show how parents can help their highly sensitive child to develop their special abilities as a strength and experience the world in a deeper, more empathetic way.
I would also like to recommend these three texts from our current issue:
- «Trusting our children: So important, so difficult.» The column by psychologist and learning coach Fabian Grolimund.
- «I was an outsider as a child. Now I'm afraid that the same thing will happen to my daughter.» A worried mum calls the parent helpline for advice.
- How children develop a healthy body image: «It's poison when parents constantly comment on their child's eating behaviour,» says psychologist Ronia Schiftan.
I hope you enjoy Fritz+Fränzi.
Yours sincerely,
Yours, Nik Niethammer
