Parenting is a demanding job for any person, but it can be especially difficult for someone who is highly sensitive. A highly sensitive person (HSP) is very in tune with the emotions and feelings of others around them. They are more aware of subtleties in their surroundings and are more easily overwhelmed when in a highly stimulating environment.

If you are a highly sensitive mom (HSM), self-care is so important for your happiness and sanity! If you are also raising kids who are highly sensitive then it is even more vital! Highly sensitive moms need time alone to recharge and regroup when possible. Here are some great gift ideas that you or any other highly sensitive mom is sure to enjoy!
