In my opinion, does it matter why she exhibits Emotional OE? Not all overly emotionally sensitive kids are GT, nor do all GT kids have OE. I think you just have to be sensitive to the child's needs and help them learn to cope with what they are feeling and to teach them socially acceptable coping skills.

Sengifted has an article about the 5 OE's and strategies for dealing with them.

Edited to add the specific article link
