Parent Your Highly Sensitive Child Like A Ninja

If you are staying up past midnight googling “how to tell my kid bad news without them freaking out on me or hating me,” This message is for you. If you already struggle with helping your HSC navigate new events or changes in the day, how on Earth can you prepare them for unexpected bad news?

You can’t control what they hear on a day to day basis, or when their favorite toy breaks and now it's discontinued... Or when something scary happens, like a death in the family. Especially if their cousin's pet dies and your niece won't stop talking about it. And you can't tell your kid the bad news to prepare them because they'll just have another meltdown...

It’s normal to be sad when a pet or loved one passes away, but being afraid of your child's out of control emotions is not normal. Tune in as I discuss how to prepare your HSC for surprised BAD news.

As your child grows into a teenager, how do you really feel about it? No shame here. We were all teenagers once, and it’s safe to say that NONE of us would go back in time to live through puberty again...Be honest.

Are you holding your breath because you can’t imagine adding hormones on top of mood swings? Or adding their physical appearance on top of the list of preexisting worries? And the peer pressure… learning how to be yourself and fit in at the same time…

When they already didn’t feel like they fit in…

Tune in as I knock out the phrase "It's just hormones, they'll grow out of it!" because it's not just hormones, and they won’t grow out of it. It's something else.
