4 Principles Teaching Transitions To Sensitive Kids

When your highly sensitive child (HSC) struggles with transitions, it can feel like you're stuck in an endless loop of negotiations, meltdowns, and frustration.

I know you love your child deeply, but the daily battles over getting out the door, starting homework, or going to bed are sucking the joy out of parenting.

Here's what you need to know: your child isn't giving you a hard time, they're having a hard time. And they need you to be their emotional anchor through the turbulent waters of change.

As a parent of an HSC, your job isn't to simply make your child "obey" or comply with transitions on your timeline.

Your role is to create an environment that honors their unique sensitivities and equips them with the tools to navigate change in a way that feels safe and manageable to their nervous system.
