The Highly Sensitive Child – Parent Questionnaire
The Highly Sensitive Child – Parent Questionnaire
©Elaine N. Aron, 2002
Is your child highly sensitive?
Is your child highly sensitive?
Answer each question as best as you can. Check the box if it is true or at atleast moderately true of your child, or was for a substantial time in the past; leave unchecked if it is not very true or not at all true for your child.
My child
□ Startles easily.
□ Complains about scratchy clothing, seams in socks, or labels against his/her skin.
□ Doesn’t usually enjoy big surprises.
□ Learns better from a gently correction than a strong punishment.
□ Seems to read my mind.
□ Uses big words for his/her age.
□ Notices the slightest unusual odor.
□ Has a clever sense of humor.
□ Seems very intuitive.
□ Is hard to get to sleep after an exciting day.
□ Doesn’t do will with big changes.
□ Wants to change clothes if wet or sandy.
□ Asks lots of questions.
□ Is a perfectionist.
□ Notices the distress of others.
□ Prefers quiet play.
□ Asks deep, thought-provoking questions.
□ Is very sensitive to pain.
□ Is bothered by noisy places.
□ Notices subtleties (something that’s been moved, a change in a person’s appearance, etc.)
□ Considers if it is safe before climbing high.
□ Performs best when strangers aren’t present.
□ Feels things deeply.
Scoring:
If you answered 13 or more of the questions as true of your child, your child is probably highly sensitive. If one or two are true of your child, but extremely true, that might also justify calling your child highly sensitive.
