Ep #16: Our Sleep Story

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2021/08/31

Sleep has never been easy for us. It's been one of my biggest challenges as a parent, and it's a challenge for so many of us parenting sensitive children.This week, I'm sharing our sleep journey and the mindset that has helped us get to a place where we're sleeping well more often than not. To be clear, I'm not sharing answers here. Every child is different, and every family has different comfort zones for what they are willing to try. My path will look different from yours, and that's okay. The key

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2021/08/24

In today's episode, we're discussing rhythms, with particular attention to the way our family rhythms are influenced by the seasons, theenvironment, and our own personal rhythms. Creating a predictable rhythm for your family gives your child the structure that they need to feel secure and prepared for what's coming next, without the rigidity of a traditional schedule. A rhythm allows for so much more flexibility, so you can give them space to keep going when they're absorbed in a book or a project,

Ep # 13: Time Management

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2021/08/10

Over the past few weeks, I've been sharing some of the topics I coach my clients on that seem like they have nothing to do with parenting (but actually impact the way we parent A TON). This week we're looking at time management.Time management is another one of those things that sounds separate from parenting. But if it's not becoming clear through this series, the way we do one thing is the way we do everything, and if we can get to the root of these things that have often been long-term

2021/08/03

This episode is part of a series about topics I frequently coach my clients on that seem like they have nothing to do with parenting. In the last episode, we talked about people-pleasing. If that episode resonated with you, you definitely want to listen to this one, too, because boundaries can be quite challenging if you have any people-pleasing tendencies.It's not uncommon to hear parents talk about boundaries. More often than not, though, they are talking about creating expectations or rules for

Last week we talked about what it means to be parenting in the gap. We talked about signs you can look for to help you recognize when you're living in the gap between the way people parented when you were young, and the way you want to be parenting your child. We even talked a bit about what you can do to start closing that gap, to start stepping into the vision you hold for your family.In this episode, we're focusing on what I consider to be the top skills to cultivate to bring you closer to that

Ep #7: What Experience Am I Choosing?

2021/06/29

No matter how much we may want to, we can't control our kids. We can't control their emotions, their development, their preferences, or their choices.This week, I'm sharing my experience moving through the heat bubble that record high temperatures to the Pacific Northwest and the two questions that helped me reframe my mindset and actually enjoy the weekend.Asking yourself these questions is a helpful practice any time you're facing circumstances that you can't control, whether it's a weather event,

Ep #5: Power Struggles

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2021/06/15

I've got a bit of a different spin on power struggles than we tend to hear.Most advice out there focuses on how to handle power struggles: give them warnings, give them choices, offer incentives or consequences to get them to comply.Did you catch that?Most advice about handling or avoiding power struggles is built on the assumption that the goal is compliance.We want to get them doing what they're "supposed" to do without all the resistance.It's not bad advice. It just glosses over the root cause of

We place so much pressure on ourselves as parents to live up to a certain standard.We also want to do right by our kids.and we certainly don't want to be that family - you know the one - their kids are running all over the restaurant, screaming and throwing things, and losing it when it's time to leave the park. Their kids never get along and aren't speaking to each other by the time they're adults.We don't want to be that family, but we secretly worry that we are. Especially if our children are

Welcome to the Partnered Path Podcast! My name is Julia McGarey, and I'm a life coach for parents of highly sensitive children. It took me several years after I first heard the term "highly sensitive" to realize that I am a highly sensitive person, and while it's a term that is becoming more mainstream, there are still a lot of misunderstandings and misconceptions when it comes to sensitivity.In this episode, I give you an overview of what it means to be highly sensitive, and what this trait can
