Both of my DDs have been incredibly sensitive. I still vividly remember DD11 sobbing when she watched Horton Hears a Who as a toddler. She couldn't understand why the mean monkeys would steal the Whos from Horton. We had to make a big deal when we returned that one to the library. DD11 seems to have grown out of most of it. DD9 still is incredibly sensitive. She gets stressed out in movies when the kids are in trouble or something bad happens. She would never be able to sit through the Terabitha movie -- she would walk out or hide behind the couch. We have to be very careful when they show movies at school as a "treat" (read torture for her). We have to talk her through the whole story ahead of time so that she will have time to process the outcome.
