Parent Your Highly Sensitive Child Like A Ninja ·

2024/11/15

Recently, I had a frustrating experience that really drove home for me the importance of integrity and human connection in both business and parenting.I had purchased a text watch for my highly sensitive child from a well-known company. When I reached out with a question via email, I quickly realized I was communicating with a human who was using AI to simplify their responses. The AI responses were contradictory and even chastising in tone as I tried to get a straight answer. I felt

Imagine this... It's the day after the fall festivities.Your sensitive child's treat bag is overflowing with candy. They've already had several meltdowns begging for "just one more piece". You've said no multiple times, but the badgering won't stop. You're at your wits end, ready to just lock up the candy stash and be done with it. But you wonder, is that really the best approach?

I want to share a powerful story about one of our clients, a mom of two boys one of which was struggling with 2-3 meltdowns per day.She confided in us that she had been suffering in silence for months, too embarrassed to reach out for help because the meltdowns only happened at home. She thought since her kids held it together in public, it meant they were doing better than if they melted down in front of others. But here's the truth: Meltdowns are meltdowns, regardless of where they

Let's be real - if your sensitive child is having daily meltdowns, it's a glaring sign they haven't yet developed a resourceful identity.Resourcefulness is non-negotiable for your child's lifelong success and happiness. It's the key to resilience. If your child can't creatively solve problems or stay present when upset, they're stuck in the meltdown cycle. And that cycle won't end on its own.

As a parent of a highly sensitive child, you know the daily struggle of trying to get your kiddo to open up about their big feelings without triggering a meltdown.It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking: "My child just won't talk to ME about their emotions.

You use intuition all the time without realizing it.Like when deciding if that plate of food looks appetizing. Or knowing the coffee you're about to drink will be very hot. But I see so many parents struggle to trust their intuition with their kids… mainly because they let fear override it. Your gut tells you something is a good or bad decision. Then the doubts start creeping in from others' opinions… or the need to be liked… or the need to create convenience… or low self

Last week, I attended a coaching event with my mastermind group and it became clear to me why many parents struggle with raising sensitive kids.One business owner (also a mom) at the event was questioning if she belonged there because she was too focused on comparing her accomplishments to everyone else's online success. But I could see that she was very close to reaching her own goals. I understand. As parents, we are constantly measuring ourselves against an unrealistic or unknown
