If you’re parenting a highly sensitive child who experiences big emotions, tantrums, or emotional storms, this conversation reframes what support actually looks like. We talk about nervous system co-regulation, emotional regulation for parents, and why parenting a highly sensitive child isn’t about authority, control, or silencing emotions, it’s about staying steady in the bigness.

You’ll hear why parenting a highly sensitive child requires emotional creativity, how nervous system co-regulation builds safety, and what it means to model regulation instead of demanding compliance. This episode is for parents who want to honor sensitivity without abandoning themselves.
