This workshop is aimed at parents of highly sensitive children aged 5-18.  Please let us know the age of your child when you book so that we can make sure we cater for your particular age group.  Please do not bring your child along, all parents will want to be able to speak freely.

How do I know if my child is highly sensitive?

Will I be able to ask questions about my child’s individual situation?
