Have you ever stopped to consider why time-outs might be ineffective?

I get that your kid’s pediatrician, therapist or school counselor probably recommended this tactic, or maybe you remember it “working” for you as a kid… 

But let’s face it– time-outs just don’t work for your sensitive kid. 

Why?

Because it is an outdated practice that is simply not based in brain science AT ALL.

With all the noise out there on parenting, I totally get that you may have felt like you can rely on a basic old school tactic that wasn’t as harmful as spanking.. 

And, time-outs expect a level of self-control that isn’t effective.

You love your sensitive child with all your heart. 

But the daily tidal wave of tears, tantrums, and meltdowns leaves you feeling drained and defeated. 

No matter how patiently you respond, your child shuts down at the smallest frustration. 

You want to help them thrive, but don't know where to start.

This is not for lack of trying that you’re locked in a daily battle of wills with a child who seems wired to overreact. 

The judgmental glares, the well-meaning but useless advice from others, the isolation you feel - it cuts deep.

Wondering what’s normal for sensitive kids?

When your child faces frequent outbursts and emotional turmoil, they are grappling with overwhelming emotions beyond their control. 

They feel disoriented, confused, and burdened by these INTENSE FEELINGS. 

And when they lack effective strategies to process and express their emotions, they explode.

And guess what? 

This is not a phase they will outgrow.

Ever wonder whether this temperament trait can be proven in research?

I get it, you want an answer about why your child is struggling significantly, WITHOUT labeling them unduly… 

AND make sure you’re covering all of your bases and not missing a serious biological cause for your child’s distress.

In your research you may have come across the traditional belief or advice that treats your child’s intense meltdowns as diagnosable anxiety, or a developmental delay, or some other pop psychology fad trend. 

And yet, you know you (and your spouse/co-parent) arent’ on the same page, you’re reactive when you're not at your best and yelling or throwing your hands up, walking on eggshells…

and you know this is part of the problem.

Today’s message is short, because I am imploring you to save the time to watch this week’s podcast.

Are your sensitive child's school days filled with distress and challenges?

Considering homeschooling as the only way to solve this problem?

You undoubtedly want your child’s education to cultivate potential, not erode self-esteem, yet…

Seeing them drowning in overwhelm at home understandably sparks your protective instincts to advocate for drastic change.

This creates a sense of overwhelm for yourself, and yet you and I both know that’s not who you truly are.

You are your child’s advocate.

So, before you pull your kiddo out of school…focus on building that identity, and educate yourself on what it’s like to homeschool.

A child who is reaching their fullest potential feels successful in these 5 avenues: community, friendships, academics, family, and inner emotional intelligence.

A child does not categorize their inner self concept by how many of those categories they are thriving in and counting the highlights.

One category of a perceived failure to a sensitive soul is enough to be debilitating, especially if they're perfectionistic.

Sensitive kids don't think "at least 4 out of 5 areas are good". 

One failure damages their spirit.

I know you’re doing the best you can, and believe your struggling child when they say it's not okay.
