  • 168. Summer Expectations: Fireworks/Noises/ Parties/Overwhelm

    Last summer was a nightmare for Lori and her husband, Jeff.


    See, while most families were enjoying the longer days, the awesome weather and more time outdoors …

    They were going through hell with their HSC.

    Like a lot of highly-sensitive children, their son struggled the minute his daily routine changed.

    Which meant he was having constant meltdowns.

    In their words, the summer was “a nightmare of boredom, frustration and complaints.”

    Lori was feeling upset, helpless, and even started having panic attacks.

    And Jeff felt like he was failing her, because no matter what he tried, nothing made the situation better.

  • 167. The Rewards of Validating Your Child (What Parents Should Know)

    Every parent wants to build unwavering trust with their child.

    You want them to come to you when they’re struggling …

    Not be afraid of telling you how they’re feeling …

    And to have the kind of bond that’s totally unbreakable.

    Problem is, most parents don’t have this.

    And building that kind of trust is even harder as a parent of an HSC.

    Sometimes it feels, no matter what you try, there’s this wall between you.

    That wall might just make for awkward conversations, and a lack of connection.

  • 166. Summer Camp Prep

    While most kids couldn’t be more excited for summer …

    … for HSCs, it can be a time of stress, anxiety, and confusion.

    That’s why I’m discussing today's topic.

    After working with 600+ families over the past decade, I know just how difficult summer can be.

    Whether you’ve got kids off to camp … You’re planning days out … Or it’s just a break in routine …

  • 165. Managing Your Emotions: How Your Reactions Impact Your Child's Behavior

    Putting an end to your HSC’s meltdowns doesn’t have to be difficult.

    It doesn’t require yelling or shouting.

    You don’t need to give in to their demands.

    And you definitely don’t need sticker charts or reward systems.

    In fact, you really just need one thing.

  • 164. Breaking the Meltdown Cycle - Why Doesn’t Therapy Work for This Issue?

    Today’s topic is a must-listen for any parent thinking of taking their child to therapy.

    See, while hiring a therapist to help with your kid’s needs might seem like a responsible move …

    Therapy is one of the best ways to make meltdowns worse.

    That probably sounds controversial.

    But there are 4 specific reasons I never recommend traditional therapy for HSCs.

  • 163. End of School Year: What Supporting Your HSC Through School Transitions Looks Like

    No time of the year is “easy” for parents of HSCs.

    Whether your kid gets super stressed after Christmas …

    Hates the change in seasons …

    Or experiences extreme anxiety at the start of a new semester …

    One time that clients at MTC frequently tell us is a minefield, is the end of the school year.

    While most kids are excited for the long, school-free days ahead, for HSCs, the change in routine can be triggering.

    This is why it’s so important you know what to do to support them through the transition.

    Because your actions here can be the difference between a fun-filled summer, full of amazing memories that last a lifetime -- for them and for you …

    And a summer of meltdowns, arguments, and wishing away the days!

  • 162. Invite Yourself to Dream!

    NEWSFLASH: You don’t have to ‘cope’ with your child being different.

    Because being different isn’t a problem.

    In fact … It’s a GOOD THING.

    I know that might sound weird.

    After all, as parents of HSCs, you can often be judged because your kiddo doesn’t conform to social norms.

    But when we work with parents here at MTC, we make sure our clients don’t just learn to ‘get by’ with an HSC …

    … but actively CELEBRATE their child’s differences.

    Now, you might be thinking -

    “But Megghan, my child can be challenging. I love them soooo much …

    But I don’t know how their challenges are an advantage?”

    If that’s you, then listen on to hear how you can dream again!

  • 161. What Your Child's Behavior Really Means (It's Not What You Expect)

    Ever feel like you and your kid are speaking different languages?

    And I don’t just mean they’re speaking French, which you studied in high school so you can kinda pick up the odd word …

    More like you’re speaking Spanish and they’re speaking Swahili.

    If so, that’s a common situation for a lot of HSC parents.

    Most I speak with, in fact.

    And this clash can make it super difficult to understand their behavior.

    Because you wonder why they’re behaving in a way that’s so alien.

    And all the reasoning and persuasion in the world doesn’t seem to do anything.

    Well, here’s the thing -

    While you might think you know the reason your kid is acting up, or having a tough time …

    The real reason probably isn’t what you think.

  • 160. My Sensitive Kid Can’t Handle Praise, Now What?

    Giving your child praise can be tricky.

    That might sound like a weird thing to say.

    Because kids like praise, right?

    But how do you know when you’re praising them TOO much?

    The truth is, there’s no such thing as ‘too much’ praise …

    Provided you’re giving them praise in the right way.

    Consistent and meaningful praise boosts your child's self-esteem and promotes positive behavior.

    Which calms the outbursts, eliminates meltdowns, and helps them be happy and confident.

    But praise needs to be authentic.

    Otherwise, your child will pick up that you’re not being sincere.
