Avoidance, tears, and big emotions - these are just a few of the ways that sensory overload can show up in Highly Sensitive (HSP) Children.

While each child is different, many Highly Sensitive children struggle with both environmental overstimulation as well as emotional overwhelm.

This week, I’m reflecting on some relatively common “warning signs” that your HSP child is overstimulated - I’d love to hear your thoughts on these or any other signs of overwhelm that you’ve observed in your child!

In this episode, you'll learn:

1. Signs of Sensory Overwhelm in Highly Sensitive Children

2. Resources for HSPs

When you hear the words “overwhelm,” “overstimulation,” and “sensitivity,” what comes up for you?

For HSPs, overstimulation shows up in in our thoughts, behaviors, and physical sensations, which can create additional frustration and overwhelm!

The first step in managing overwhelm is to begin to understand what causes it, as well as your unique “warning signs” that you’re feeling overstimulated or overwhelmed. This week, I’m reflecting on a few common signs of overwhelm for HSP adults - I’d love to hear your thoughts on these or any other signs of overwhelm & overstimulation that you’ve experienced!

As a fellow parent of a Deeply Feeling or Highly Sensitive Child (HSC), I know that it can be difficult to know what to say to our children when they’re upset, particularly when we are frustrated!

In this week’s blog, I’m reflecting on three statements that we should avoid saying to our HSP children - with the understanding that we are human and should allow ourselves grace when we slip up ;)

In this episode, you'll learn:

1. Words NOT to say to support your Highly Sensitive Child

2. Where to seek additional support if your child is an HSP

If you’re a parent of a highly sensitive (HSP) or deeply feeling child, you likely know the struggle of trying to help your child through some through intense emotions! Empathizing with your child’s emotions is a critical first step, because it allows them to know that you understand how they are feeling. After they feel understood, we can move on to helping them use some coping and calming skills. Helping our sensitive children build these skills allows them to thrive in day-to-day life, even when big emotions come up! In this week’s blog, I'm sharing how to communicate effectively with your Highly Sensitive child in order to build emotional intelligence & resilience.

When you cry, how do you feel about the fact that you are crying? You might feel relieved, upset, embarrassed, angry, or any number of other emotions. I've known people who look forward to the release that crying offers, as well as those who will do almost anything to prevent themselves from being tearful.

Believe it or not, crying has several benefits! I'm sharing about the ways that crying can be supportive in this week's podcast.

1. The benefits of crying
