A child who is reaching their fullest potential feels successful in these 5 avenues: community, friendships, academics, family, and inner emotional intelligence.
A child does not categorize their inner self concept by how many of those categories they are thriving in and counting the highlights.
One category of a perceived failure to a sensitive soul is enough to be debilitating, especially if they're perfectionistic.
Sensitive kids don't think "at least 4 out of 5 areas are good".
One failure damages their spirit.
I know you’re doing the best you can, and believe your struggling child when they say it's not okay.
Do not diminish their meltdowns by saying "at home is their safe space".
No, daily chaos means they feel unsafe everywhere.
It is not resilience if children "cope" with inner turmoil alone.
They deserve tools to regulate their big feelings.
When perfectionistic kids can't achieve in one domain, they lose belief in themselves completely.
Do not discount their experience.
Success is not a math problem of highlights vs struggles.
For sensitive souls, even one setback shatters their world.
My advice? Stop using your metrics of what's "enough" and truly listen to your child.
Trust that their meltdowns signal a deeper need for security.
Your precious kids care not about outward measures but relationships - help them fully engage where they find joy.
Do not leave sensitive spirits to "develop resilience" on their own.
Partner to provide sustainable strategies for calm within the storm.
With patience and your belief, sensitive children can thrive in all domains, not just "survive" in four.
Have faith that together you can get there.
My team can help you break out of this cycle within the whole family dynamic.
It doesn’t start with your child. It starts first with you.
Book your call to take back your power and lead your child to resiliency LINK
