In the mid 90’s, psychologist Elaine Aron introduced the concept of Highly Sensitive People as a personality trait. Since then it has gained traction and offered an understanding for people that had never before been talked about.

How To Talk To Your Kids About Their Sexuality
One of the toughest conversations to tackle with your child is about their sexual identity. Even though literally everyone goes through this stage and has to figure it out for themselves, it can be super uncomfortable for many people to talk about.
