Why Does Your HSC HATE the Surprise Gift You Got Them?
What’s worse: surprising your kid with a gift that they hate, but they pretend to love?
Or surprising them with a gift you know they LOVE, but suddenly, they hate it?
Let me tell you a story. Our family recently adopted a puppy.
My kid loves animals and we knew that she wanted a puppy.
We knew there would be hyperactivity, lots of licking, jumping around, chewing on stuff, etc.
So when we brought it home,
I started thinking about how HSCs who are stuck in the meltdown cycle might react to this much sensory overload.
Would fear overshadowed excitement?
Suck up the joy completely before anyone knew what happened?
If your child is missing the skills to regulate their emotions and you are walking on eggshells around their explosions,
The meltdowns would take the lead here.
So, what do you do if your HSC can’t handle surprises?

Do the Meltdowns Make You Feel Like the Lockdown Will Never End?
When you feel like certain things are not possible for your family BECAUSE of meltdowns…
It feels isolating.
Most of us have lived through an actual lockdown.
But when you limit your family or yourself from doing things because you feel like your kid can’t handle it...
It feels like it never really ended.
And it feels like you’re doing something wrong when you’re just trying to protect your kid.
I get it. It’s exhausting for you to wait for the explosion when you try to do fun things.
Plus, your kid doesn’t want to have a bad time either.
