The paper presents a study of the category of hypersensitivity based on Polish parenting websites and a discourse on children and child rearing. Using discourse analysis methods and findings from new childhood studies, the author explores the current aporias regarding sensitivity. She analyses social narratives entailed in them, including those concerning child education and upbringing, related to modern biopolitics and various risk discourses according to which the responsibility for the proper control and development of the child’s sensitivity lies within the parent-expert. Based on the studied material, a thesis is formed that connects the discourse on hypersensitivity with modern, also neoliberal, thinking, pointing to the post-moralistic implications of this relationship – possible outcomes of treating child development as a strictly individualistic process. The article also shows mechanisms of depriving children of subjectivity through discursive child management, in which the child is no longer a person and becomes merely a representative of certain characteristics of a specific group of population recognized as hypersensitive.
