Ep. #56: What's stopping you from taking care of...

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/07/06

Once or twice a month (at least!) I have a day when I just need to slow down. I either have a headache, brain fog, fatigue, or all three. For me, it's most likely a result of whatever's going on with my thyroid that day, but really the why of it isn't that important. What we're talking about this week is the specific circumstance of illness or fatigue and the beliefs I see parents carrying that interfere with or prevent them from taking care of themselves.If you can't find a way to slow down and

Ep. #54: Doing Less

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/06/22

We've all heard the expression, "Work smarter, not harder." Really, it's about taking considered action, rather than taking action for action's sake.And if there's one thing most parents are good at, it's jumping into action!In this episode, we're taking a look at five different ways you can conserve your energy and do LESS, and still give your child the support they need.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/julia-mcgarey/support Get full access to The Blackbird

Ep. #53: The Next Layer: Looking Beyond Behavior

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/06/15

Deciding to leave the ways of the past in the past (spanking, timeouts, or any other reward/punishment system) and forge a new path forward is the first step towards a new way of parenting, but it's definitely not the last.Forging your own path forward is not easy, simple, or straight-forward. It is multi-faceted and layered. Not hard, necessarily, but definitely on-going.Today we're talking about one of the layers that you find once you make the decision to opt out of punishments, and that is the

Ep. #52: The PATH Process

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/06/08

Today we're breaking down the PATH Process. The PATH Process is my signature approach to navigating challenges with your children. It informs my own parenting daily, and it guides all of my coaching, even when I'm not teaching it explicitly. It consists of four steps: Pause, Acknowledge, Tell, and Help. Although it sounds simple, each step comes with its own challenges and mental barriers, and understanding what those are can help you implement it more effectively.***Are you on my email list? Claim

Ep. #51: The Sponge Effect

When you pour water onto a sponge, eventually it hits a point of saturation.It doesn't matter how slowly you pour, every sponge has a point at which it can't take on any more water.And if you squeeze a saturated sponge, what happens?Water shoots out.Your child is like that sponge.Every conflict, every power struggle, every transition, every unexpressed emotion, and every additional layer of hunger or exhaustion is like an extra splash of water.Eventually, your child hits their limit.And then the

Ep. #50: Friendships

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/05/25

Friendships can be hard for highly sensitive kids, and if your child happens to be highly sensitive and gifted, it adds another layer of challenge. It's hard for us, as parents, to watch our children struggle to make and keep friends. So, in this episode, we're exploring the challenges that highly sensitive children face when it comes to friendships, as well as how you can help them work through their friendship challenges.--- Support this podcast:

Ep. #47: The Show

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/04/27

This week we're talking about The Show. It's the show that comes on when your child pushes your buttons. The Mom Show. The Dad Show. The Grandma/Grandpa/Uncle Show...We're talking about it because so often the action of parents taking responsibility for their emotions and learning to temper their reactions is framed by the negative impact it might have on the child. Big reactions are a source of trauma, and through big reactions, it's possible to teach your child to hide their mistakes and hide

Ep. #46: Getting Out of Fix-It Mode

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/04/20

This week we're talking about a drive that I see in many of my clients and in the world around me, and that is the drive to fix things for their kids. I remember reading an article seven or eight years ago about how this generation of parents was morphing from helicopter parents - parents who hover - to snowplow parents - parents who clear all obstacles for their child, making life too easy.I want to talk about this because it isn't just about fighting their battles for them. More often than not,

Ep. #45: The Power of Choice

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/04/13

In this week's episode we're talking about the power of offering your children choices. Regardless of what parenting books you've read (or haven't), you have probably heard that it's a good idea to offer your child choices.And I agree. Having a say in what they do is empowering and can help reduce the number of power struggles you are experiencing with your child.However, sometimes I talk to parents who have been offering their child choices and it doesn't seem to be helping. If this is you, this is

Say your child is trying to do a Lego set that is a little advanced for them and they give up as soon as they hit the first confusing bit.Or they want to draw a picture of a unicorn and it doesn't come out exactly the way they want it to.And it seems like they are just too much of a perfectionist or they lack perseverance. But really they haven't built up the skill of tolerating and working through frustration.It's uncomfortable, and they respond by giving up or getting angry.How do you handle

Ep. # 43: Special Rights

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/03/30

Today we're talking about how we view our children and the language we use to describe them. The language we use matters. It has the power to shift our thinking, even if it's subtle. And sometimes a subtle shift in thinking is all it takes to set us on an entirely different course.Now, I want to get a little more specific because my intention with this episode isn't to explore our language use in general. Today we're going to look at what happens when you shift from viewing children through the lens

Ep #41: Maintaining the Change

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/03/16

I want you to think about the process of creating a new habit. If you've ever set a New Year's resolution and lost track of it after a month, you're familiar with this. Change isn't that hard to initiate, it's maintaining the change that's tricky.It's tricky because we have a lot of practice with our old habits, our old ways of thinking, our old ways of reacting. When we allow ourselves to settle into autopilot mode, those are the grooves we fall into. They are what we know, and what we know feels

Ep #39: Talking about hard things

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/03/01

Today is March 1, 2022, and it seems more relevant than ever to discuss what to do when big scary things are happening in the world. Do we protect our children and preserve their innocence as long as possible? And while that might be possible if you are a parent to a young child, if your child is elementary school-aged or older, this becomes an impossible task as they pick up so much at school.Now, if you've been listening for a while, you may have picked up on the fact that I believe our children

Ep #38: The Root of the Problem

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/02/22

Our actions don't just come out of nowhere.There is always a thought (conscious or unconscious) and a feeling driving our actions. And when we look at it this way, it gives us a different perspective, a different sense of responsibility in regard to our own actions.Well, this connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions holds true for our kids, too. Their actions or behaviors don't just come out of nowhere. And the better we get at figuring out what's beneath/behind their actions (behaviors),

Ep #37: Acknowledging and Allowing Emotions

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/02/15

I talk all the time about acknowledging and allowing our kids emotions, but I want to take some time here to really dig into what that means. I see a lot of people saying things like, "I know you're angry, but you still have to take a bath!" and calling it acknowledgment, and I want to be clear that that's not what I'm talking about. Slapping a label on your child's emotions and moving on is not what I mean by acknowledging them.What led up to the emotion? Why is your child having the experience
