Parent Your Highly Sensitive Child Like A Ninja

A stressed out Mom posted this in our Facebook group recently:

“Has anyone else ever discovered clothing to be a really hard issue with your HSC?”

“I’m about to lose my mind finding clothing that works and my son will wear. Does anyone have any tips?

I just ordered the same exact pants he’s worn for months and he put them on and immediately threw them off because they didn’t feel right."

Now, I know this is a common issue, because we see it in our coaching practice a lot.

But I gotta be honest, the response to the post shocked me.

Because even I was amazed how many parents said they deal with this, too.

People were commenting like there was no tomorrow.

It’s a big issue.

So what can we do?

Join me as we discuss sensory struggles today.

“Happiness is an illusion, my parents aren’t happy, so how can it happen for me?.”  I heard a phrase like this from an older teen I spoke to earlier this week. We were discussing whether we’d be a good fit to work together and her hope was wavering. This is such a shame, since we know teens have their whole life ahead of them to visualize the possibilities of their future.

The challenge here is that this is a common theme I see when I work with parents of sensitive children. Eventually their light starts to dim and it affects their marriage. They struggled for so long trying to figure out how to parent their child that they argue and drift apart.

I’ve seen it early in the parenthood journey, and this pattern doesn’t go away without radical change.

Do you ever feel embarrassed by your kid’s behavior?

If so … You’re not alone.

Being embarrassed is a normal part of parenting.

But with an HSC, that embarrassment can be on another level.

Not only do embarrassing situations crop up more frequently … They can also be way more intense.

So it’s normal to spend a lot of your time feeling red-faced, ashamed, and worrying that everyone’s looking at you.

Or worse … Judging you.

And, while most kids grow out of this naturally, that’s definitely not the case with HSCs.

Megan and her husband Paul were at their wits end and had run through three different therapists in two years!

They were starting to think that their five year old was just going to be one of those kids that just isn't parent-able, until they stumbled upon our work and had a call with us. 

In that conversation, they learned what was possible and what was available to their family. 

Megan & Paul were able to do the work to break out of the pattern of daily, multiple times a day meltdown cycle with their daughter that they have been dealing with since she was 18 months old. 

I'm not here to tell you that it was easy. 

Megan and Paul were skeptical of our work together for several weeks into the program. 

Yet they still were able to achieve the results we're talking about. 

We're here to support you and make this simple but it doesn't mean that it’ll be easy.

Breaking out of this pattern requires you to change the way that you think about your child and what's possible, start to be playful even if it feels totally out of your wheelhouse and systematically break out of the meltdown cycle and notice what you are doing to keep the pattern going in the first place. 

Though many of those tactics are part of our strategy, they are often the exact opposite of what you'll hear from professionals that you engage with. 

Be sure to tune into Megan's story and observe how they were able to completely change their daughters functioning in less than six months.

Thinking of taking your HSC to therapy?

If so … Don’t do ANYTHING until you listen to this podcast.

Now, I want to preface this by saying, I never make sensationalist comments for the sake of it.

That’s not my style.

I want to give you help and advice, not be ‘controversial’ in order to generate engagement.

That’s why you know I’m being deadly serious when I say that therapy could be ruining your child’s emotional intelligence.

Do you ever wonder if your kid is REALLY having a problem at school …

… or if what they’re going through is just a regular struggle that might pass in time?

Parenting a sensitive child is tough.

You know they have needs other kids don’t.

And that you need to bring your A-game, every single day.

But still, sometimes there’s that creeping doubt -

“Should I be doing more … Or do I need to let them figure some of this out on their own?”

You know me - In my coaching practice, we’re all about giving HSCs the tools, skills and resilience they need to handle whatever life throws at them.

But sometimes, you gotta step in.

Especially if they’re really having problems at school.

The question is - How do you know?

Well, there’s 3 things to look out for.

“Why does my child do so well at school …

… but completely lose it at home?”

That’s a question we get a lot from parents.

See, while it might be natural to assume your kiddo would act up MORE at school, because of the extra stimulus, the extra stress, and having to conform to ‘rules’ …

The opposite is often true.

And it can leave parents scratching their heads, wondering what they’re doing wrong.

Here’s the thing -

You’re not doing anything wrong.
