Parent Your Highly Sensitive Child Like A Ninja

As a society, we love to put labels on things.

Whether it’s labeling people as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ …

Labeling foods as ‘healthy’ or ‘unhealthy’ …

Or putting labels on kids who don’t conform exactly to what’s expected of them.

This comes up a lot in my private practice.

Parents come in because their kiddo has been displaying HSC-like behavior, and they think they need a diagnosis …

I can understand why getting a diagnosis might give parents some comfort.

After all, if you went to the doctor with unexplained stomach pain, you’d want them to give you a concrete reason for that, right?

You’d want a diagnosis.

But in HSCs, most of the time, a diagnosis has a negative impact on their self-esteem and on their future.

Why can’t my HSC be happy?

Is my HSC destined for struggle?

We know these are questions that spin through your head.

You may have a relative that struggles and you can draw parallels with your child’s behavior.

Or perhaps you yourself had a rough childhood and you’re busting your butt to be certain your HSC doesn’t struggle with intense emotions like you did.

In this video I speak about why your child is struggling in relation to your parenting style.

Not to shame you. To help you see what YOU can take action on immediately.

Most parents have times when they just don’t ‘get’ their child.

And most kids think their parents are weird, too.

That’s just life!

But when you’re parenting an HSC, that disconnect can feel 100 times greater.

In fact, this is something I hear from the parents I work with a lot.

Deep down, they know a certain level of disconnect is normal.

Because when they were teens, their parents didn’t ‘get’ them.

But despite this, they start second guessing themselves.

Parenting a Highly Sensitive Child can leave you exhausted and fried.

A lot of parents I work with are holding it all in or gritting their teeth and baring through the day.

It can be really difficult to see outside of your self and to take a look introspectively of what it is that you are struggling with as a parent and how to move through that in order to teach your child.

Listen on as we discuss critical mistakes parents make in their parenting perspective.

Have you ever been mid-meltdown with your kiddo, only to hear someone remark -

“Kids these days!”

Or maybe you’ve been with family, and they mention something about being ‘spoiled.’

If so, I feel your pain.

Here you are, doing your best to keep the situation under control, only to have someone judge your parenting.

Even if the person saying it is well meaning, it still sucks.

Because they have no idea what you’re going through.

And as you know, comments like this are not helpful.

But do they have a point?

Is modern US culture to blame for your child’s struggles?

Or have you been spoiling them, and that’s why you’re dealing with emotional outbursts, high levels of anxiety, and a kid who struggles with things other children take in their stride?

Short answer …

No, you’re not spoiling them.

I’m not a nutritionist. 

And I’m not a dietitian. 

But one thing I do know is that what your kid eats can have a huge impact on their behavior. 

It makes sense, right?

I mean, we know as adults, if we eat crap … We feel like crap!

And if we eat good, healthy, nutritious foods, we have better focus, more energy, and actually want to do things.

Same goes for your kiddo.

Managing their nutrition can be tough at the best of times though.

And with Halloween just around the corner, I know a lot of parents are going to be seriously worried.

We see it every year in my Facebook group.

The questions come flooding in.

Ever heard a professional talk about how it’s a good thing for your kiddo to “get their emotions out?”

By which they mean scream, yell and have a meltdown.

Here’s the thing -

This approach is like teaching your child how to digest food by making them vomit!

You’d never tell your kiddo that throwing up after a meal was a sign of healthy digestion.

If that started happening, you’d look for a solution, FAST.

Well, it’s the same for their emotions. You don’t want your HSC to vomit up their emotions …

You want them to ‘digest’ them. Why?

Because while we want our kids to express themselves, and to feel comfortable to tell us how they really feel …

We also want to encourage them to have emotion. Watch today's episode to learn why this is so important.

When your child says "I'm fine" but then blows up later it's because they get the message from you, either subtly or directly that their emotions are a burden.

Your interactions are changing your child's mood.

So are you teaching your child to feel their feelings in a safe and healthy way in that moment or are you just trying to get out the door and are fed up and frustrated?

Listen on as we discuss what's actually happening when you are telling your kid to suck it up.
