Work + Life Harmony | Time Management, Organization and Planning for Overwhelmed Women

Preparing for Events and Travel with Highly Sensitive Kids with Rachel Bailey


Listen Later

If you're a parent of a highly sensitive child, you know that planning a simple trip to the park can feel like orchestrating a military operation. What looks like a fun family outing can quickly turn into hours of repeated questions, worst-case scenario planning, and emotional meltdowns before you even leave the house.

In this episode, parenting expert Rachel Bailey joins me to share why traditional planning approaches often backfire with sensitive kids and what actually works instead. Rachel explains how sensitive children's brains are wired to assume threats in unpredictable situations, which is why your child might ask "What if I break my arm?" when you mention going somewhere new for the first time. You'll discover practical strategies for creating the structure and predictability these kids crave without letting trip planning take over your entire life.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

  • Why sensitive kids assume the worst when facing unpredictable situations
  • How to identify your child's specific triggers from past experiences
  • Creating "when/then" plans that help kids manage discomfort in new situations
  • The three essential elements every trip needs
  • How to handle the 176th repetition of the same question without losing your mind
  • Planning transitions both TO and FROM events and travel
  • Deciding which experiences are worth the extra effort and which to skip
