When your child freezes, freaks out or stalls when their routine or expectations aren’t met, it can go from 0-100 quickly.

Contrary to what you might believe, teaching your child to handle these surprising situations IN THE MOMENT perpetuates the problem.

Believe it or not, it’s not an effective strategy (for longterm change).

Tune in to learn how to break the cycle of your child’s intense reactions to change (using proven, research-backed methods)...

And to learn how your well-intentioned coping skills you're trying to teach your kid...are actually setting him up for more emotional struggle.

Book your call with our team if you’re tired of tip-toeing around your child or teen and want to build resilience for your sensitive child without making them ‘suck it up’ or coaching them to breathe into a paper bag for every little thing.

Contrary to what you may think... 

Your HSC's sleep issues are NOT just about vitamins, screens or diet.

As much as you try to limit screen time, sugar or food dyes...many of you are also hesitant to use a pill to support your child in falling asleep.

At any age, parents need to be aware of their sensitive child or teen’s emotional problems that may be the root of their sleep issues.

Altering diet, adding vitamins/medications and other ‘quick fix’ approaches are really just masking deeper causes...that require long term commitments.

Look, I get it, I avoid certain foods too.

Sunshine is good for the body, to process proper hormones to support sleep onset. That’s just it, however: ‘support.’

Because when you avoid helping your child learn how to process anxiety-provoking topics like the school day, friendships, and family relationships...

Then all the ‘tricks’ in the world aren’t going to help your sensitive kid settle down.

“It’s ok to be sad”... until it’s not…

The juggling act you play with your HSC when their sad feelings move swiftly to anger…
(towards you, a sibling, your spouse, a grandparent, the list goes on!) has you feeling completely worn out.

Trying to be all things to all humans in the household, AND prioritize your HSC’s safety decisions is impossible.

You have limits.

You have boundaries.

And when you act as if you have to handle everything at once, and be the container for both of your kid’s feelings, and that of your spouses, and that of any other observers, you can end up frying yourself.

So what do you do?

There are 3 main skills as a parent of a Highly Sensitive Child that you need to acquire in order to eliminate the meltdown cycle.

Join me as we discuss what these are…

If you’re ready to fast track this for your family and truly know you’re solving the problem, then I encourage you to book a call with our team to see if we’re a fit:

A typical pattern we hear from parents working to help their child end the meltdown cycle is to focus on their child’s coping skills. 

When you’re in the middle of surviving this cycle you can get stuck in throwing things at the wall to see what sticks…

…So, here’s what the cycle looks like: your child has a meltdown.

You try to help them through it.

While they’re melting down, you’re teaching them to use a skill, and they refuse to use it in the moment…

So, you try to talk about it later…

…and when the next meltdown comes, your child refuses again, and you do it all over again… and again… and again… for all eternity… 

…it seriously feels like it will be, because when you feel this reactive, it’s jarring to think about how your child would ever stop their meltdown behavior.

When your child isn’t consistent with their coping skills it’s quite frustrating to say the very least.

The most aggravating part of it for most parents, however, is that this is a typical pattern that is p...
