The holidays are a glorious time of food, family and gratitude!
But for parents of HSCs, getting to that table brings worries and anxiety.
Last year plays on an endless loop - the dread building each November.
Canceled plans, disrupted meals, stress ruining moments meant for bonding.
Maybe you're still trying to coax your reluctant social butterfly out from their room to mingle.
Or perhaps getting shoes on causes a meltdown because your highly sensitive child struggles with transitions.
Maybe that fall sweater Nana made doesn’t feel just right, so now there's threats to wear it and tears and screaming ensue.

Ugh, sometimes it feels like your kiddos age a decade overnight!
It's wild how fast they seem to grow up before your eyes.
One day they're having fun coloring books and playing pretend, and suddenly they're declaring it all "babyish" and "lame"?
It's so confusing trying to keep up with where they're at.
And strategies that used to soothe them when they were younger just don't cut it anymore.
When they're upset about something, the usual response, "it'll be okay" gets them more worked up instead of calming them down like it used to.
But stepping in too heavy-handedly to try and fix things for them also often backfires and drives them away from you.

We all hear it, constantly!
“Come play with me, come play with me, come play with me!”
Listen, no one understands more than I do that as a busy parent the one of the hardest things to do is step out of your routine and play.
Especially with a Highly Sensitive Child and it’s not always “fun.”
Like when it ends in your highly sensitive child melting down because they didn’t win.
Nope. Forget it!
With life's huge to-do list, play time feels like extra baggage.
But listen up - connection cures what ails that sweet soul.
And playtime heals in ways task-tackling never will.

Tired of the tug-of-war?
Constant disagreements with your co-parent over your sensitive child?
Fed up with meltdowns controlling your life because you can't agree?
Frustrated with each day that passes as traditional tactics, gentle methods, therapy, you name it - nothing seems to work.
I get it.
Frustration and doubt plague you both.
Divided parenting is draining.
The truth is, you’ve been set up for failure.
Both of you have.

Lying awake at night, worrying about your sensitive child?
Wondering if you're doing enough to keep them safe and secure?
Questioning every parenting decision you make?
Yep.
You're certainly not alone in feeling this way.
We speak to a lot of parents who shamefully admit to wondering,
Is there something wrong with my parenting? With my child?
The thoughts just swirl in your head and increase the stress even more.
But as caring as those concerns are, it’s not helping you.
It’s actually hurting you.

Do you ever feel like your kid has flaws?
If so … I hear you.
No parent wants to think there’s anything ‘wrong’ with their kid, right?
Or that they somehow need “fixing.”
But unfortunately, society conditions us to think this way.
Then, when you add in comments (sometimes well-meaning, sometimes not) from friends and family members, it’s easy to see your kids’ big emotions as some kind of problem.
But what if they weren’t a problem at all?
What if these were actually reasons to celebrate?
This is a reframe we do with our clients.
And they LOVE it.

STOP trying to solve your kid’s problems.
That might be a weird way to start a podcast …
But way too many parents go into “fix it mode” the moment their kid enters a meltdown.
If you do this, it’s keeping them stuck in a destructive cycle.
I know you’re only trying to help.
Trouble is, “fix it mode” usually means bypassing your kid’s feelings, and looking for a solution.
To you and I, a solution is the best thing, right?
But to your child, mid-meltdown, a solution is the last thing they want.
What do they want?
To feel validated.
And to know you hear them and see them.
That’s not to say you can’t problem solve.
You just need to solve the problem together.
