Avoid People Pleasing
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 belittled and unheard, all while trying to advocate for my child's needs.
It took me back to a decision I made years ago, when a former mentor suggested I cut labor costs by replacing my master's level team with cheaper, less qualified staff.
I refused because I knew that the heart of my work was building trust with parents of highly sensitive kids.
And that trust can only come through genuine human connection and deep expertise– and this is something we need to keep in mind as parents of sensitive kids.
Highly sensitive children have a strong moral compass.
They value integrity above all else.
But this can also make them vulnerable to people-pleasing, as they try to be "good" at all costs.
