Many parents debate over the issue of which type of school to send their kids to, public or private.  What Highly Sensitive Children need is an environment that is:

• Calm and organized: Highly Sensitive Children are easily distracted.  A calm and organized environment helps them to focus on their school better.

• Fosters higher learning consistently: When they learned everything they are given, much faster than the average children, Highly Sensitive Children frequently gets antsy and fidgety.  Then they get bored and starting to act out.  When faced constant discipline from the teacher for acting out, they could eventually lose their apatite for learning altogether. 

• Good morals are taught consistently: A high moral standard not only promotes good characters of Your children, but also promotes good characters of the children around them.  If the children around them are good kids, your children would be treated well.  Plus your children have a better chance of becoming friends with good kids.  Negative influence affects Highly Sensitive Children a great deal.

• Have genuinely caring teachers and aids: Good teachers literally transform Highly Sensitive Children’s lives.  Often we found sensitive children tend to listen to and believe their teachers more than their parents.

   

  However, do avoid to certain private schools where parental involvements are low and tuitions are high.  Besides a good school environment, one of the main ingredients of having good children is parental involvement.

   

  During our years of treating sensitive children, many parents with grown kids told us that, if they had to go back all over again, they would chose private schools over public schools. 

   

  That being said, however, if you live in a district where public school system is very strong, one with low teacher-to-student ratios, one with a great program for gifted children and caring teachers, your kids may do ok.

   

  If you are not satisfied with your local public school but couldn’t afford to pay the private tuition, homeschooling is a viable alternative—at least worth a try, even if you are not sure you can do it right.

   

  Don’t forget, a sense of community is extremely important to Highly Sensitive Children.  Good communities where parents and kids share the same values can help ground your children and help them to be confident about who they are and where they belong.
