One of the blessings of my baby’s sensitivity was that it started to open us up to understanding our family as sensitive as a whole. I started learning about both my and my partner’s limitations based on our sensitivities, which were often ignored during our childhood. There’s good and bad to realizing this about ourselves. On the one hand, it makes us extra sympathetic to our little guy’s struggle… and on the other, it makes us triggered a lot more often.
