The Little Light Project nonprofit shut down officially in 2015, but we keep the website up in order to share important information on how to help highly intuitive children.
Help For Parents of Highly Sensitive Kids
If you have a sensitive child, you've likely heard these and many other statements before. These types of comments typically start when they hit school age. As parents of children who are sensitive and intuitive, many of us at The Little Light Project have been pushed to have our children tested for disorders by schools, psychologists, and psychiatrists. When the final "diagnosis" is made, they are most likely are prescribed some form of prescription drug. From experience, we can empathize with you when all of the testing and medication STILL doesn't lead to improved states of being for our kids. In fact, in one particular case, the medication was making everything worse.
It is at that point that many parents seek alternative therapies. We have been through it as well and while there are absolutely cases where medication is very effective and needed, there are many cases where the children are simply being who they are -- highly sensitive, intuitive souls. We are working hard, teaming up with with medical practitioners and certified child development professionals in hopes we can provide more information, support, and checklists for parents who are trying to determine if their child has a "disorder" or if they are truly so highly intuitive/sensitive that they are merely struggling with being overwhelmed by everything they see and hear on a daily basis. We are also working with leading psychologists and counselors who specialize in helping highly sensitive children. Every child is different but most highly sensitive children typically have a harder time in traditional learning settings and if they do not feel loved and supported for who they are and learn coping skills to tune out all the noise and energy they feel, they become overwhelmed and have a tendency to slide into depression. We want all kids to grow up knowing that their inner voice is one of their most precious gifts and that by learning to trust it, they are learning to use the most essential tool we have a human beings. |

Testimonial
"I have a sensitive, intuitive 10 year old daughter. She was diagnosed with ADHD without hyperactivity, general anxiety disorder, and Aspergers. In my heart I knew that this diagnosis didn't make sense and was wrong. A few months later I came in connection with the Little Light Project. We've always known our daughter was highly intuitive/sensitive but we didn't understand how this affected her. Immediately, I felt a huge sense of relief because Kiersten had an understanding of her and provided help which made a positive change for her and ultimately our entire household. We are on a new path that feels right. It's amazing an organization such as this exist. I am very pleased. - Walnut Creek, CA"
