Tune in to learn why your HSC is not as fragile as you think, and why it’s important to own that fact.

In this episode, I talk about why sticker charts are harmful for your HSC's development. Highly sensitive kids are especially vulnerable to struggling with cutting themselves slack if they don’t get the highly desirable fancy reward (whether that’s recognition or a tangible item) and that slashes the very internal motivation that you’re working to build. Remember, your HSC feels their feelings deeply. This means that when they don’t reach a coveted goal… DEVASTATION is a result. Learn more about this topic in this short episode.

In this episode, I talk about how parenting an HSC during the holidays can be challenging. Do you suffer from anxiety around Christmas time? I think we all do, but when you’re a parent of an HSC struggling with meltdowns, you are probably thinking at least three times as much as the average parent.
“I better make sure each sibling has an equal amount of gifts.”
“We’ll have to come up with an excuse to leave the Christmas party early so Sarah can watch A Christmas Story again.”
“I’ll take the long way to Grandma’s to avoid passing by the toy store, otherwise we’ll have to stop again.”
On top of the grocery list, gifts to mail out, and Christmas card addresses… It’s no wonder you are feeling anxious. The Grinch was anxious around Christmas time too, but for a different reason. Tune in to learn more about what the story of the Grinch can tell us about our Highly Sensitive children.
